I was just wondering what people think of the main BBC One, Six and Ten O'Clock News presenters.

At One, Anna Ford has just returned after being away for weeks (anyone know why?) but along with Peter Sissons and Michael Buerk (at 10) they are all older than the current trend for younger presenters. Do you think they will stay for long? And, who would be best to replace them if they went?

She will be presenting the BBC`s election coverage and so has been preparing for it over the past fews weeks so thats why shes not been presenting the news recently

I Think Hugh Edards Is Best... He's not an old codger, but hes not a 18 year old. That and he sound good on the tellt, and i think he's the best (go to the Fetures section of TV Home) and download the 'day in life of hugh edward' video, it realy intresting!!)

AND MERRY CHRISMAS EVERYONE!!!!!
