News anchors/reporters who just should't be there...

Go!

Simon McCoy, Owen Thomas, Peter Dobbie
Kay burley , Felicity Barr, Chris Rogers.

None of them have done anything too bad recently but they are all irritating to watch for more than a few seconds.

M roberts quote:

Michael Buerk - A legendary Newsreader, but should not be allowed near Natasha Kaplinsky. Not a nice scene....

I enjoyed the bits i saw of their shows together despite the gap in the IQs.

Natasha Kaplinsky....... my god she is bad!!

She just isn't good on Breakfast;

1)She can't read long words- had to get Dermot to read it once.

2)Doesn't seem to understand culture. She hasn't heard on famous bands when asked about it.

3) I know she isn't.. but she acts like an airhead. Certainly not a heavy journalist in big stories.

4) Can't tell a joke.

5) Shw always dresses to look like an air hostess! (My mum said that, and she isn't into the news).

5) When you see Sian she is just hundreds of times better, and Sophie was too.

I just don't know why the BBC employs her.

There are only 3 ways to get into the BBC...

1) Have sex with a head of department

2) Be excellent at what you do (could also be applicable to point 1)

3) Be an average journo, but make up for it with good looks.


I wonder which route NK took?

Fiona Bruce - Why someone so lightweight is doing the main heavyweight bulletin of the day I don't know!

Matthew Amroliwala - wooden
Felicity Barr - popular among some on here but I can't think why
Bill Neely - better as reporter
George Alagiah - dull
Krishnan Guru Murthy - appears very smug

You want annoying, need go no further than Juliet Foster. Simon and Kay are amongst Skys bet

Who's that bloke off News 24 who used to do the BBCi headlines and then some late nights, and then they put him on a 7/11 once - can't remember his name but he was just the worst newsreader I've ever seen on anything. God he was awful!

Plus...

Natasha K
Dermot M
Fiona B
Philip H

All of Sky News presenters apart from JT & Martin S

Phillip Hayton is one of the best newsreaders out there mate, there are a lot worse than him - although it has to be said most of the people who are worse are his collegues at news 24.

Huw Edwards - is nowhere near any good, but somehow he suits the crap, dull BBC studio.
Dermot Murnaghan - Should replace Huw on the 10
George Alagiah - As mentioned, suited BBC4 and doesn't mix with a co
Trevor McDonald - earned his place, but should be persuaded to leave NaT
Katie Derham - Should do Weekend News and replace Trevor.
Owen Thomas - Should move to daytime presenting.
Brigid Someone (C4) - Should present more or be called a reporter.
Sarah Smith - Should become a full time presenter, she's better than Samira
Charlie Stayt - Don't like him, Rob Butler is better.
Elaine Parker - Should be presenting more!

Yep, Phil is a true professional. BTW Moz, I think you're thinking of Andrew Simmonds!

Lets see?? *sharpening knives*

Kay Burley: Prima donna attitude.
Owen Thomas: zzzzzzzzzzzz
Jemma Woodman: Nice girl, but surely she is in work because she is eye candy?

Adrew Simmonds - Possibly the worst television newscaster in existance?
