Sarah went one better today, saying "Josie Lawrence, instead of "Josie Russell"

That does it, I've got to start watching this show. It sounds great...

seems a shame do not get up with enough time to spare before school to watch this delightful blend of news and swearing

Someone should have e-mailed the programme as they seem to love reading them out on air now. As Sarah and Jez (as Moira Stuart calls Jeremy Bowen) keep saying "'Its your programme". The new Breakfast is crap and doesn't work. Sarah Montogue constantly voices her own opinion (shaking her head and saying unbelievable all the time regaring the train crisis) and Jeremy Bowen just infuriates me. Moira Stuart seems really bored too! The only good presenters are Darren Jordan and Sophie Raworth.

Sophie is, of course, the Empress of Breakfast. I think this Montague woman is just a stand in for when she's away. Why don't they just get Tanya Beckett to fill in for Soph? She's fab. And they should bring back Jon Nicholson.

Al likes his Breakfast Babes.

>And they should bring back Jon Nicholson.

No - I hated him - though I did feel a bit sorry to see him join the ranks of former prominant TV Newsreaders over on News 24 - such as Edward Stourton, Chris Lowe and Phillip Hayton.

And why, when they brought in Clarence Mitchell to do Saturday evenings did they move him to Overnights where he just looks tired?

I did a search and found him on for three hours on a Sunday. Sad :(

And Edward Stourton is very infrequently on N24 - he tends to do stuff for Correspondent and Radio 4.

What got me was when they went all beige, they ditched Justin Web and sent him off to Europe. I always thought he was a very good news reader.

Yeah , all beige and purple, two colours which simply do NOT work together.
The should bring Noel Coward (sp) back to breakfast, he was so funny on B.News
wasnt he from Newsline?
A perfect team would be, Noel, Sophie, Isobelle Lang/ Helen Young (only cos she is from my home city and she is funny) - and Tanya.
Also Rob or Sue with the sports news.
And gets rid of that stupid Scottish twat at the stock market, put him back on News24 where he can flirt with Maxine Mahwinney - all Scots together sort of arrangement.
Why dont they show BBC World in the UK - I never understand.

I am shocked to discover Jon Nicholosn has been hidden away somewhere. And even more shocked to discover someone hated him! He was very dry, I thought. Plus, his banter with Sophie, Tanya, Isobel et al was usually pretty sharp. Ah well.

>Why dont they show BBC World in the UK - I never understand.

It's a commercial channel. That's the only reason.

>What got me was when they went all beige, they ditched Justin Web and sent him off to Europe. I always thought he was a very good news reader.

Yes, Justin Webb. Very articulate - he could prounce words exactly - always handy for a newsreader.

>The should bring Noel Coward (sp) back to breakfast, he was so funny on B.News
>wasnt he from Newsline?

Noel Thompson - very good interviewer and newsreader, and always struck me as a nice guy. And he is, because I met him some time ago (my sister used to sing in the Belfast Philharmonic Choir with him) and he seemed very amicable, even laughing at my poor jokes!

>And gets rid of that stupid Scottish twat at the stock market, put him back on News24 where he can flirt with Maxine Mahwinney - all Scots together sort of arrangement.

They've both got very definite Northern Irish accents!

I *think* Maxine Mawhinney is from my home town of Bangor. She used to be on GMTV before moving to News 24.

Did anyone else see, Rosie Millard, supposedly Arts Correspondent, came on about 2 weeks ago to talk about music charts. One of the presenters asked her what the current number 1 was - and she didn't know!

This is pretty much equivalent to the Sports Correspondent not knowing who's top of the premiership.

However, she did know that Cliff Richard was no. 1 when she was born. Which is nice.

"Did anyone else see, Rosie Millard, supposedly Arts Correspondent, came on about 2 weeks ago to talk about music charts. One of the presenters asked her what the current number 1 was - and she didn't know!"

Who cares? The charts mean nothing nowadays. Anyway, I hope the charming Rosie sticks to worrying about the serious arts - opera, ballet, theatre, literature. Not chuffing Westlife or Craig David.
