Moira Stuart - Dropped?

All quiet on the Moira front.................

Bump.

Why? Should we all discuss the no news situation?

For someone with 2228 posts, you think you'd know that "bumping" posts isn't a good thing to do? If threads get archived, another one can easily be created if there's a need.

Here's some recent news: Moira Stuart to receive 'black BAFTA'

Here we go... The Mirror are reporting Moira has left the Beeb with immediate effect.

Moira Quits BBC - Mirror

Good. Can we now close this thread.

It's been confirmed by the BBC

So she's freelance? I wonder if she'll turn into the new Tim Wilcox.

I was rather disappointed at the BBC's treatment of this during the One O'Clock News. After a long career serving the BBC, presenting every news bulletin under the Sun, all they could manage was a brief mention that Moira's left BBC News accompanied by a still photograph of her. Couldn't they have put together a little package looking back on her career with BBC News, as they did with Anna Ford?

Why ?
All she did for 30 years - with the occasional exception such as HIGNFY - was read an autocue.
She was reasonably okay but had the personality of a doorbell.
Presumably her bosses at the Beeb realised that which is why they gave her very little else to do.
Anna Ford - there's another highly-paid muppet whose departure no-one has missed.
Personally I'd put the pair of them in a canoe with that talentless Welsh git Hugh Edwards and drop them off somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.
