Crimewatch New Presenter

Kirsty Young has been announced as the new presenter of Crimewatch

just up on the ticker on News Online. I'm sure there will be a story in a short while up on the site, in the mean time......thoughts?

mine are that she's a credible enough presenter, could bring a breath of fresh air to the programme. As long as she uses her own style and not try to be like Nick Ross or Fiona Bruce then she could make a good job of it.

Well at least its not the Kerplunksky.

I thought Fiona was doing a good job on her own alongside Rav etc.

I thought Fiona Bruce had got the gig full time? Oh well..

well maybe they will work together, it didnt mention anything about Fiona Bruce leaving the programme.

She is leaving. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7020328.stm

Fiona Bruce is going to be the new Antiques Roadshow host, so that as well as Ten O'Clock News presenter on Friday's is enough. I wouldn't like her to be like Kaplinsky, and load our TV screens like chicken-pox on your wedding day.

Fiona used to be on everything though - the news, real story, crimewatch; she had a gameshow as well if I'm not mistaken...

The gameshow was 'Call My Bluff' , shame Fiona doesnt present more news bulitens.

Great choice! She is a very talented presenter- underused on 5!

Has she quit Five News now?

She left Five News last month.

I'm disappointed she's moved to a show like Crimewatch . Moving into entertainment even if it is serious and factual in content seems to be a step down from news presentation.

What else will follow for her now, a mix of other roles for the BBC ?
