Like: Arrow Felicity Barr, I think she has really come out over the past year and same with Owen Thomas, but not in the sense most would assume.

Arrow Kate Silverton on Breakfast. Much friendlier presenter than Tash.

Hate: Joyce O'hajah. Why is she a presenter? It would be better for her to go back to reporting.

Andrea Catherwood. Since she rejoined ITN , she barely ever ad-libbed, shown any signs of personality or humanness, like a lot of today's presenters. I also dislike the way her accent almost disappears sometimes and the way she smiles whilst announcing horrific events, and her clothing is sometimes inappropriate.

We love..........

CNN's Todd Benjamin as the new Michael Nicholson. It was seat of your pants stuff watching him try to hold it together earlier on, whilst tripping over the autocue several times.

We also love CNN's Becky Anderson trying to make herself heard over departing and arriving aircraft at a military base near to Islamabad. It got so noisy that Becky thought it best to emulate a helicopter and threw her arms around in Becky style, screaming at us, and unable to hear her cues in her ear. It made for entertaining viewing in amongst otherwise sad circumstances. Ralitsa Vassileva back in Atlanta could hardly keep a straight face............

We hate.............

Dermot Murnahgan's fading hair and his attempts to comb it forwards. He is now starting to look like Bruce Forsyth. Give it up Dermot, and go for the short and sexy look.......it will suit you.

We also hate.......

David Foster's departure from Sky!

SO INTO...
Kate Silverton - she's obviously a bitch and that makes her fab.
Felicity Barr - she's obviously really nice, that also makes her fab.
Barbara Serra - I might be gay but her accent makes me go weak at the knees.

SO OVER...
Contrived banter on News 24. You can't do it so stop.
Peter Sissons. Do they stick him on News 24 on Sunday afternoons to get higher ratings for other channels or something?
