Ok, your opinion. But the man came accross as boring, and old fashioned. He didn't add any flavour or cement to the Evening News, and putting him on was a mistake.
It was by no means a mistake! This man really is a golden oldie to ITN, and no-one can expect an anchor from the 60s to be perfect 40 years later! After all, this is the birthday "celebrations". Roll on Anna!

What happened at the end? I wasn't able to watch that bit. I must say that in the few bits I did see, Gordon did seem incredibly wooden. The reading style between Gordon and Mary was like chalk and cheese!

He waved "see-ya" at the end of the bulletin instead of (presumably) plugging his appearance on the news channel afterwards.
I add myself to those who've enjoyed the novelty of this week; i suppose tomorrow should be the smoothest of the lot what with Anna Ford still newsreading.

Gordon's finish on ITV News...
I hate it when that happens. Especially when Mary carries on so professionally, she should've waved as well, it wouldn't have made Gordon look so out of place!

Please **** off, you pleb.
This place was so much better when infants like you weren't here.
Why are you making it so personal? I didn't do that, I was merely putting forward my opinion, as I said.
