Cant be bothered to do all 20 at the moment but the top three have to be Julie Etchingham, Jane Hill and Leyla Daybelge...

I'm only going to do the top 5 BBC newsreaders for me which are:

1. Jon Sopel
2. Louise Minchin
3. Bill Turnbull
4. Jane Hill
5. Kate Silverton

And my 5 least favourite BBC newsreaders:

1. Chris Lowe
2. Joanna Gosling
3. Philip Hayton
4. Fiona Bruce
5. Darren Jordon

Top 10:
1. Alastair Stewart (give him the 10.30!)
2. Nina Hossain
3. Nicholas Owen
4. Mark Austin (strip him of the 10.30!)
5. Andrea Catherwood
6. Katie Derham
7. Felicity Barr
8. Alastair Yates
9. James Mates
10. Fiona Bruce

Bottom 1:
1. Trevor McDonald

Arggghhhh... If she is so high up your list, then WHY can't you spell Nina's surname? But I must admit, good choice with Katie Couric, she's a lovely lady. By the way, why was SLinden banned?

I reckon a little high for someone who almost appears to be smiling when reading, and so not presenting, serious news stories.
