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

Nah. That dubious honour has to go to Karen Roberts.

No!!! Without a doubt it is that girl (very pretty, but that's where it ends) who does the GMTV bulletins for Central Birmingham. Sounds like she has a peg on her nose and doesn't understand what she's reading. Only person on TV who I cannot watch - ACTUALLY turn over when she appears.

What's this? Your ideal BBC News presenter rota?

OK he's only regional (except you can all see him on Sky Digi)... but from BBC LDN, Asad Ahmad is the worst presenter ever (even worse than Chris 'thick' Rogers and Owen 'Eyebrows' Thomas...

Asad has such a bad sinus problem that he always sounds like he is talking from inside a large box. He can't breathe, and lots of his words are muffled and lost. He has no sense of humour, no empathy with the camera, and no ability to ad-lib. So there.

Nina Hossain on the other hand... sullen, sexy, sizzling (enough s words: Ed)

Yvon Ndege (is that how you spell it?) who does occasional reports for BBC Breakfast strikes me as very amateurish. She sounds a bit like a child and has no gravitas or authority whatsoever.

I think she'd make a great CBeebies presenter. However I'm sure Floella Benjamin would make a better news reporter than her.

yes - shes very crap and i get the impressions shes only there to fill the BBC's quota of ethnic minorities, obviously not because of her ability.

Will someone put her nose and eyes back in the right place as well please.

Yeah thats it.... suppose i should have mentioned that!

Does anyone have a video of this Simmonds guy? How often does he appear on news 24?

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you there.

Asad regularly pops his head round the door of Queen Margaret Drive from time to time and I think he's very good on Reporting Scotland. Perhaps it’s for lack of good presenters on Reporting Scotland but I'd like to see him up here more permanently if London doesn’t want him.

Well in that case I agree with you about Bill & Sian at Breakfast, but I'm not sure about Sophie or Manesha anchoring the 6 alone - it might be too lightweight.

And the fact that as soon as she's said "goodbye" she should be starting the WBR on BBC World! - let along the update at 6.55!
