I'll be honest, the first time I heard of the incident was reading on BBCi about the complaints, and I laughed reading the article.

S4C's Gethin Jones has been named as Simon's replacement - but won't begin until April.

Don't know why Gethin and Zoe have been unveiled months before their debuts when in the past the presenter was revealed on the day of their first show - in the mid-nineties a new Blue Peter presenter was a major Television event!

The first BP new presenter arrival I remember was Diane Louise Jordan. A big gong or something...anyway...

Can someone oil my creaking rheumatic joints please?
