Maxine Mawhinney is a second-rater no doubt about it. If she's presenting the Ten then it only confirms to me what a oad of rubbish the management of BBC News is.

How About a Nightmare Kinda lineup???
What about........ Mon-Thu One O'Clock News Jake Lynch Fri Emily Maitlis (Something to put you to sleep early in the day)
Six O'Clock News Mon-Fri Natasha Kaplinsky And Stephen Cole (Imagine that they would be preening themselves and trying to battle over who gets most camera time)
Ten O'Clock News Mon-Fri Phillip Hayton And Nick Witchell (Arguing that they dont like each other)

Why is she 'second-rate'?
I've always liked Maxine Mawhinney. I remember she used to present Saturday and Sunday mornings on BBC News 24 several years ago, before being moved to the weekday afternoon shift. I think it will be a pleasant change to see someone else presenting the main bulletin for a change, and I see no reason as to why Maxine can't be given a shot at it. It's not as if she is an incapable presenter, is it? She wouldn't have been given a high profile position on N24 if she was no good.

It's going to be you, isn't it
If it is can you credit the TV Forumers?!
As for Maxine Mawhinney, I think she is all right and deserves a chance to do the Ten though I always think of Maxine as an afternoon presenter, probably because of her N24 shift.
Hasn't Kate Silverton presented the Ten before?

Didnt know she was from Ulster.
I thought the Northern Ireland accent may have given it away.
Maxine is my best mate's ex-girlfriend's auntie, which adds nothing to this thread but I can't see how it will ever fit into another one.
