Did anyone see Huw Edwards present Songs Of Praise this evening, on BBC One?

It was quite funny to watch actually - the programme opened with Huw saying something, he was sitting on the BBC News newsdesk. Then he showed what's coming up on tonight's Songs Of Praise with the BBC News headline bed, before finally letting the programme actually begin!

Since when has Huw Edwards been religious?! Smile

He goes to church every Sunday, he said so on Hardtalk.

They like to seem sitting on that desk at the moment, everyone's doing it. Also Huw had no tie on either, casual Huw. Wink

Well, at least Huw can present! Anyone see Janet Street Porter on Points of View? You could clearly see she was reading autocue!

Poor old Huw must be getting hard up. He's on more things than Carol Vordaman this week. Songs of Praise, Hardtalk, Dateline

Talking about POV and BBC News, did you notice that montage of BBC News Headlines, with a different presenter each time1, Complete with the BBC News Headline Bed yet again!

I must say that that is rather insensitive - there are hundreds of so called 'intelligent' people who are religious, and i think that you should drop that attitude now - as if only people with no intellect have religious beliefs!!

Well done Huw, esp for saying that you go to church on TV.

Huw gave his testimony in one of the Songs of Praise in last year. He said he is a Christian. He is a Christian for many years.

How stupid and narrow-minded you are.

All that can exist is what we can see? There can be no more to existence than what we know? So where did we come from? How was the universe itself created? How did that bible thing become so popular a couple of thousand years ago? The best scam ever?

(technically not off-topic, although majorly off-topic in terms of the overall forum!)
