Is Kate Gerbeau still presenting five news? i couldnt find a presenter list on the fivenews site, and i've only seen Natasha, Helen and less often Matt on screen.

Answerd my own Q saw her at lunchtime today.


I know John Suchet left a while back, anyone know where hes gone?Back into retirement, or a smaller news outlet?


Thank God he left when he did. I don't think I could have coped seeing a newsreader as capable as John Suchet presenting Five News in its current form. I shudder to think.... Shocked

Yes, you're right. John is out of Five News' current league. But he did render the programme warm and inviting.

Well, clearly there is an audience out there who can only accept their daily digest of news from one Miss N. Kaplinsky!

Nice to see she's helped in the ratings - is it sustainable, however?

IIRC John Suchet returned for a limited while to cover for whats-her-face who presents Desert Island Disks.


Kirsty Young, who now presents Crimewatch as well.

Matt Barbet on the news at 5 (and I presume 7) tonight.

Is this the first time that natasha has been away from her precious flagship bulletins?

I hope they're just calling it "Five News" then - and none of this American rubbish "Five News with Natasha Kaplinsky - Natasha isn't here today, I'm Matt Barbett".

Yes that's quite annoying. On the ITVNC, they would keep projcecting ''Sunday Live with Angela Ripon'' onto the newswall whilst poor John Nicholson was presenting, probably feeling quite embarrassed.

Well unless you understand why, than you can't really call it rubbish. Although, i assume Matt will say "This is Five News, Im Matt Barbett...", like what Natasha does.

So not really a lot different to when he presented on BBC London - ties for the males are seemingly optional Wink

I think he is referring to the fact that her name is on the titles in line with American news shows.
