Matthew is actually a glove puppet. If you watch carefully you can see Jane Hill's hand up his back

lol... but around how tall is her im metres or cms! Also in most pictures i've seen of him and Jane Hill together he was much lower than her. and in one of him standing his suit looks far to big on him!!

I found myself standing next to him once, and he was significantly shorter than me... and I'm only about 5'8" (on a tall day).

Is this the guy on News 24 ??
If so, this guy is a terrible newsreader. I may have also seen him present the late news bulletins on BBC-1 also.
Dreadful the way he lowers his voice to almost a whisper at times. Why does he do that?

The question is, do we actually care?

Why are we getting so many utterly pointless threads here at the moment?

Why do the new members feel they must start these idiotic threads without anything significant to say?

It's like dogs pi$$ing on territory.

STOP IT!

It's boring.

The best answer to a question like that is probably to contact him directly. I know there seemed to be a genuine reason to create this thread but these 'general chit chat' threads really must stop.

Best bet is for a thread to turn into a general one after a few pages rather than forcing one.

Oh, and it's in the wrong forum. As he's purely a newsreader, this should be in The Newsroom (was In the News) forum.

Thread Moved.

I like Matthew Amroliwala. I'm sure, if given the chance, he will be ideal for the 10 O' Clock News - much better than Huw Edwards, anybody is. Mind you, Huw was good on the 6 o' clock News, with himself and him and Martyn Lewis.

I was about to make some 'oh here we go again, knock a newsreader' type sarcastic comment. Then I read on...

And I thought to myself: "When someone can make that insightful a post, why should I even feel that my contribution would be worthwhile?"
