(From the Daily Mail)
This is good news. The BBC is saving us money. It would appear that Bleakley and Chiles have slithered onto the gravy train just as it is about to hit the buffers, for I imagine that ITV will be looking for similar savings.
I am copying from Jane Rackham in the Radio Times. She says it better than me, “With around four million viewers to keep happy each night, new presenters Jason Manford and Alex Jones certainly have some very big shoes (and stilettos) to fill as they settle down on the sofa to present their first ever edition of The One Show together.
So it will be interesting to see if the attraction of the show is its content (celebrity interviews, quirky human interest stories and consumer reports) or its presenters. Or if it was just the sort of lightweight, dip-in/dip-out magazine show that millions want to watch at this time of the evening.”
Maybe Pauline Prescott is the quirky human interest story.
Here is the link to the RT article.
I have been enjoying TOS. It has improved enormously in the hands of Gaby and Mathew. I shall miss them. I hope the new pair do not ruin it.
Jason Manford’s comments are encouraging. But I’m not so sure about Miss Jones. Like her predecessor and unlike Jason Manford she has no discernible talent to support her. She appears to have been chosen for no other reason than she has a strong resemblance to the Bleak One.
