Gagagran, I'm with you on Fiona Bruce's reading of the news. She drives me mad for just the reason you gave.

It's Philip Schofield that seems to be showing up everywhere when I put the TV on.

Women bashing again?

I think Fiona Bruce is a very poor news reader actually. She's OK as a presenter but she reads the news badly - quite often "gabbles" and over-emphasises things. It's funny how distracting it is! Personal opinion of course - some must like her style.

Oh, I so agree, merlot...hmm

Caroline Quentin is getting on my nerves.

You can't really compare Clare Balding and the egregious Simon Cowell!
She seems to be up to any call on her talents - very good on QI for example.

Agreed ! My son made that exact same comment about Clare Balding last night. And does a day ever go by without Simon Cowell getting a mention in the Press?

Don't you think that some stars/celebs ruin it for themselves with overexposure? We saw Alan Titchmarsh on everything, then Stephen Fry, Benedict Cumberbatch and now Claire Balding. Not even on programmes suited for their talents . Titchmarsh's so called chat show being an example. Maybe it's getting the money whilst you can, but I end up switching off as it drives me nuts. It's like the programme on Buckingham Palace presented by that newsreader Fiona Wotsit - just seemed to be an excuse to parade all her new frocks.
