You've missed off probably the best BBC News presenter there is - Michael Buerk.

The Buerk-meister has proved how great he is and handling different situations and types of news since he's been covering on Breakfast. Leave him there - he's great!

Micheal Buerk at his worst is better than any of those you've listed on there.

Sian Williams is by far the best the BBC has at the moment. She is friendly, authorative, attractive, laid back, serious (when needs be) and she is totally natural to watch. How she got the job in the first place speaks wonders, by accident apparently!

Come on people - More votes for SIan.

No!!!!!!!! She talks over people, doesn't let anyone finish a sentence and is generally irritating. When she's on for three days a week with Bill it's OK because he keeps her under control, but by the end of four days in a row with Dermot she really starts to irritate me.

Instead, vote for gravity, personality, hard hitting interviews and brilliant puns. Vote for Bill.

Great mock.... if I hadnt already voted then that would have persuaded me!

BTW this poll only runs for 14 days, so if you havent already voted, and its good to see that Sophie is ahead..

EDIT: Because so many people are upset that Michael Buerk etc were not included in this poll, I will do another with the top 2 in this one along with:-

Moira Stuart
Kate Sanderson
Michael Buerk
Peter Sissons
Jon Sopel
Jane Hill
Matthew Amroliwala
Maxine Mawhinney
