I was skimming through some of the topics, and I kinda notice that some ppl pick on Huw Edwards.

Is there something wrong with the guy? I've watched him a couple of times on BBC News at Six, and I think he's alright.

Just a question... Confused

Its probally cos he does wierd things but Ithink it mainly due to his fobia of ann robinson Wink

But he's normal...isn't he??

I like Huw Edwards. He's a good newsreader and he has a clear voice even though he has a Welsh accent.

I think he's of the best newsreaders on the TV, he isn't boring hasn't got one of those dull sounding 'old BBC' voices.

I agree - and he actually seems interested in what people are saying and what the news is - Sian Williams, Fiona Bruce, Michael Buerk are the only other three I would say do this consistently on BBC News. But, Huw surely one of the big names for the years ahead at the BBC.

Sorry, I obviously made quite a large error about Huw's description there!

OK - he is what Tony Blair's yes-men try to make him (if that makes any sense)

What kind of weird things does Huw do?

Oh, and Ann Robinson is quite a scare here in Canada... but she does get good ratings, mind you.Razz:
