I find both Lucy and Faye irritating, Faye especially; her voice just drives me mad

Ginnyfan,
Do you actually watch any of the content on the channel or just tune in to look at the female presenters?
Sounds like your needs might be better served by either porno or one of the many babestation type channels.

Lucy Alexander is becoming one of my favorite female presenters. She is quick and straght and I love her voice.


She's been a bit dodgy on Sky News at the best of times. I take it you're now going to change your name to lucyfan and start praising her every 5 minutes? Wink


Your wicked Dave... Laughing

She is, shall we say, challenged at points; particually when there's an autocue problem. I did like the fillers used so heavily the other day, kind of made her seem normal.

I'll always remember the girl for the ITV News Channel and it's evident success. I seem to remember reading somewhere that she simply turned up for a screen test (for the ITVNC) and got it, there and then and was presententing that afternoon.

I don't know, maybe the overnights would be better, allow her some 'training', as in the practical course sense. She just hasn't got the 'touch' that you'd expect. Saying that, what with Sky been the way it is, I'd expect her on primetime...

She was already working on London Tonight, so presumably when the LNN closure / ITN merger came along it was a case of 'test for and agree to do rolling news or be out of a job'.

Have to say Ginny seems a bit like Samson. Since she had the hair extensions put in she seems to have gained a little confidence and competence...although still loads of room for improvement!
