Kirsty Walk 4/1 favourite to take over.


I hope she’s wearing her flats for that............

I’ll get my coat.

The audience clapping during the opening titles...please say that is just an over eager audience rather than a format tweak!

The entire intro from Dimbleby seemed a bit ropey this week to be fair, no doubt not helped by having a stand in local MP instead of a cabinet minister.

See they keep on going on about her being the "first female host in the programme's history", when (although I was born in 1992) I'm pretty sure Sue Lawley hosted some episodes in the 80's?

Shame It won't be Jeremy Vine.

Always thought the show would suit him.

The article says Fiona occasionally presents the Six and Ten. I'd suggest that's slightly disingenuous given she does this regularly and has done probably as long as Huw has.

Probably the closest to a white male they could get without it actually being a white male. A safe and capable pair of hands, but feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.

Do we know if this comes with Dimbleby’s other presenting responsibilities too? Ie election night.

According to the article, a very, very optimistic Victoria Derbyshire auditioned for the role. If the BBC wanted to try and drown the program before eventually axing it, that would be the person to give it to!
