Natasha Kaplinsky to Stay at BBC for £500,000

I quite agree. Breakfast has been great fun this morning with Natasha squirming over the revelation of the news - but she's been a very good sport about it all. I'm not her biggest fan by any stretch, but I've enjoyed this morning's Breakfast enormously with the joking around they've been having.

They've been perfectly serious, and the consummate professionals, when discussing matters requiring a more sober attitude, but at appropriate times, they've let their hair down, had a joke about it with Declan and Carol, and generally enjoyed themselves. I hear people complain endlessly about the lack of "chemistry" between Dermot and Natasha, yet today when the on-screen interaction between them has been so bubbly and vivacious, we get a sourpuss like BBC WORLD complaining that it's not a fúcking playground.

If you want nothing but a newscaster reading out the news to you, and only the most sombre of handovers when interacting with other presenters, then bugger off and watch BBC WORLD. This kind of balance between seriousness and the light-hearted is precisely what's needed on Breakfast, when most people really don't want to be bored to death by the endless drone of depressing news. A bit of discussion, a spot of banter, and a small dose of lightness make it all a bit more bearable.

Thank you 'BBC LDN'.

Ok, sorry. Point taken. I am from the old school, but I agree with your comments above. Sorry again.

Wow, now what would I do with type of money, buy a new house in a chic part of London, go around the world in 80 days, oh well at least I can dream.

Seriously though I think she is overpaid, she only does 5 hours a day, of which 3 is spent off the autocue.

No problem, I'm glad you agree.

I'm glad she's getting married. It will get her off our screens for a few weeks. Never has mediocrity reached such heights.

Yes, we shall hopefully be getting the fab Jane, Sian or Susanna on Breakfast whilst she takes a long honeymoon.

And if she gets 'in the club' quickly, a few months off too!

Forget Charles and Camilla, forget Ken and Deirdre. The wedding of the year is the marriage of Justin and Natasha. Oh, I do like a good wedding y'know. I'd better get my dress ready.

just rack off winifred

Who?

very clever - you've worked out that as long as you don't post in the bbc world thread, itsrobot won't notice.
