I'ver certainly played one. This week I was going to be an SS Soldier, but the part didn't pay and conflicted with another job.

It doesn't take a copper to spot an obsessive though. We know you like your newsreading ladies, but it doesn't necessarily add to the ongoing discussions to mention it. Constantly.

I also like male newsreaders as well like Nick Owen, Geogre Alagiah, Trevor McDonald and Matthew Amroliwala. I'm not a stalker or obsessed, I just merely like to point out the newsreaders I admire.

"Merely"? I think not. Twice in two different threads you announced that Fiona Bruce is on TV tonight and urged us "not to miss it".

It's too much. When others pointed it out you laughed it off. Not the first time, either.

I know I may sound like a miserable old goat, but I'm really not. Its cool to have a favourtie. I like Jackie Bird. She's fab. There's no point in me saying it all the time though, is there?

I think the reason that Tonight With Trevor Mcdonald is so popular is that it is scheduled opposite a failing Eastenders.
WHEREAS
Real Story is scheduled against a strong Coronation Street! Surely the BBC should have some faith in the programme and put it somewhere in the schedule where it will gain more viewers?(The BBC have been told NOT to chase ratings anymore!)

Yes, I agree. Good show, good format, good presenter but wrong time slot. I think it should be moved to either 8pm, 8.30pm, 9pm or 9.30pm, then I'm sure it would be more popular than 'Tonight'.
