I wonder if Natasha's dancing partner will co-present the news with her. Talking of which, Dosen't Dermot present the Six sometimes when Geroge is away. Maybe we could have Dermot and Natasha on the Six as well as Breakfast.

She became editor last year on the Six. Before she was editor of the predecessor to ' The World ' - BBC Four News.

Before Amanda it was Jay Hunt, so it's been a good while since a man edited the Six.

Bryan Appleyard in the Sunday Times described Natasha as 'simpering' . What a perfectly tailored word that is.


Another Sunday Times article described her rather aptly as 'the new Anthea Turner' a while back. They both seem to have the same insincere presenting style.

Hasn't anybody thought of the logical answer, have Sian replace Natasha on breakfast whilst she's covering for Sophie?

I wish they had stuck to last years solution of using Sian as cover for Sophie's absence. Bad mistake IMO.
BTW, Sian is on the Six tonight .

One thing that used to happen in the "old days" was a regional presenter would be drafted in to cover vacationing and maternity periods at the BBC. I don't see why they can't do that directly, as opposed to routing them via News 24.


Yes I remember the time just last year where we had Bill Turnbull and Look North Yorkshire's Christa Ackroyd presenting Breakfast on a Sunday. She wasn't bad except she sat in the same position looking at the camera zoomed in on her all programme and only moved her head to the other cameras.

Agree with Mizzb they should keep Sian on the 6 as cover for Sophie.
Why do we have to put with Kaplinsky for 6 months??.

Anyone know where Sophie was this evening??.

I think this is shocking, and a clear display of the BBC chasing viewing figures over quality. Sian is so suited to the 6, and has done a marvellous job since 1999 when she first appeared on the bulletin. Kaplinksy won this, Kaplinksy won that......whoopee doo!

"Now on Kaplinksy Tv, the 6 o-clock news with George Alagiah and Natasha Kaplinksy"

Rubbish move!
