So another Newsround presenter goes to Sky! (well that makes two then...!). It's a shame Julie wasn't given more to do at the BBC as I've always thought she was really good but it's good we'll be seeing more of her on Sky - although they don't call it Sunrise any more on screen do they (ie. at top of hour?!) - I'm never up early enough usually to see it!

Hehehe

Ms E has actually sat in my kitchen and drunk out of our cups, eaten one of our biscuits, and used our toilet! Wink

This was in the days when she was a newsround presenter though Smile

Sky should really do themselves a favour and send Chris Rogers back to the BBC, free of charge. He's awful.

Parent B doesn't pay a massive amount of attention to presenters but the other day even she acknowledged him as being 'the most irritating person in the bloody world'. He smiles so stupidly, and at the most inappropriate times. I'd dearly love someone in the newsroom to stick up a big sign on that glass wall with the word 'Tosser' written on it and an arrow pointing to Chris. I'm all in favour of new talent, problem is that he actually doesn't actually have talent.

I have tried to like him, it normally takes a while to adjust to a new presenter, but I still can't stand him. I've changed my view on Allan King, he's actually a pretty good presenter and I am fully in favour of his presence upon discovering his hatred for football. I've grown to like him, but no matter how hard I try I can't stand Rogers. Just get rid of him, Sky.

Yeah, from what I've seen Mr Rogers isn't brilliant - I wonder what Kay thinks of him - maybe I'll ask her! Smile thank goodness she's there to hold him together and they've got jeremy thompson in the background to come and replace him on big news days!

Who has been doing Sunrise since Natasha Kaplinsky moved to Live at Five?

Paula Middlehurst and Sheila Jansen.

Paula is really impressive IMO, she should have a scheduled slot of her own. Take note Sky...
