Do you work on the NC/London Tonight? She is so wooden, I have never heard her say anything unscripted. Is she a robot?

I have worked on London Tonight and that's about as good as she gets. Silly bitch who forgets that she was a reporter until recently. You should see the carry on in reception if she doesn't get a cab home on her own!

Is this true? Joyce Ohaja is one of the dullest Newsreaders at ITV.. Time for a shakeup IMO. What are Carrie Frais/Owen Thomas like?

It's true! Owen is one of the best presenters i've ever worked with. Just the nicest guy. Carrie Frais is an absolute sweetie too......

Why isn't Owen Thomas ever on mainstream ITV1 news bulletins? He is just so.. excellent, his delivery is the best, I think he'd connect with viewers more than Steve Scott. Why don't ITV not realise this?

I remember Owen on BBC World many years ago. He was actually quite good, but only presented the business segments, IIRC.

He is quite watchable, but always reminded me of a member of a boy band, with his floppy blond hair............

Yeh same with Chris Rogers! But I wouldn't show either of them the door, as they are very good presenters and manage to keep a smile on their face, even when they do long shifts. However, this cannot be said for Kristy Young, who fails to deliver any sign of emotion when she does a half hour broadcast...

I think Chris Rogers is great - was the only decent thing on RI:SE.
