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.
Sorry Sandy Smith, I fail to see in what way Pauline Prescott is typical of the TOS audience.
It seems to me that there is a rancid cabal at the BBC that is determined to take political control of TOS. Presumably because of its high viewing figures and the opportunity to sneak propaganda into the features.
We’ve had this before with Kaye what’s her name. Presumably Pauline Prescott is to be her replacement.
I suppose we can expect regular visits from Lord Mandy and Campbell.
Sandy Smith will wreck the show. Which is a pity because I was just starting to enjoy it.
I can do no better than to quote jadedoldie who has said, “I have enjoyed this weeks shows, shame they won't stick to this pairing. Tonight's show felt as if we were all in the same room sharing a laugh.”
Me too: I just hope that a combination of Jay Hunt and Jason Manford does not return the show to the erstwhile dumbed down precocious TOS that we all despised.
So then TOS returns on Monday and we still do not know who will be replacing Christine Bleakley. I expect the BBC will try several hopefuls over the coming weeks before settling on a regular.
My worry is that the new improved TOS will offer competent, articulate and charismatic presenters, and that the TOS features will entertain, educate and in inform. Should this happen then what will we have left to discuss on this blog? Apart that is from jadedoldie’s seal skin bikini. On that thought, the weather is gloriously sunny and warm here and I am considering getting a Borat style Mankini. I cannot decide whether to choose one in yellow or perhaps eau de nil. Watch the Daily Mail for further reports and photos. I may even team up with a lady footballer.
They are off on their holidays. We are left with the double excitement of whether England will win the World cup and whether BBC or ITV will win the favours of WAG CB. I cheer for England in the former and ITV in the latter.
Is it the case that England’s poor showing is caused by its players being over paid and generally not very bright, even thick. Importantly, could this explain why CB is now a WAG. It cannot be denied that her attachment to FL has enhanced her career. But then everyone has a right to earn a living as best they can. CB has limited choices.
Over the last few weeks I have started to enjoy the feature items. They have improved in subject, content and style.
On the other hand, the two presenters are often silly and patronising. This irritates me.
Michael Flatley last night came across as supercilious. His mawkish speech about family and fatherhood would go down well with American audiences; but it does not work here. If this incident was staged then the editor should be taken out and shot then the crew will really have something to cry about.
We are told the CB intends to stay with the BBC. Importantly, the BBC will not pay her the inflated fee that ITV had allegedly promised. Never the less she is wise to stay. If CB is prepared to work hard, which frankly I doubt, then the BBC will lick her into shape. The BBC has much that it can teach her [not least how to read an autocue] .CB is well shot of the malign influence of Adrian Chiles, whose motives towards her are suspect.
