New presenter for The Love of Dogs!

MissAdventure

Hopefully with enough blue to make a sailor a pair of trousers,though. 🙂

My aunt always used to say this, but when I say that now, no one has ever heard that saying before!! Lovely to see it here.

But no one wants or is trying to replace Paul OGrady If someone dies the only choice is bin the programme altogether or find a substitute

If Alison Hammond is in charge I won't be watching. Battersea will lose out so badly if people turn away from For the Love of Dogs Albertina such a judgemental post obviously not a true dog lover if you take your support away because you don’t like the presenter of a tv programme !!!

Do you know something I think Paul O Grady would really like Alison Hammond he had a wicked sense of humour and I think he d totally approve of her and had they done a programme together I think they would have had a complete hoot
Give her a chance

I think we should give her a chance.

It would be wrong for Battersea to lose out on funding and finding homes for the animals just because we don't think the presenter is suitable before she even starts.

I don't think Paul would be happy about that.
Who'd have thought very funny but loud Lily Savage could have such an empathetic side and become such a national treasure?

I quite like Sandy someone or other.
It begins with a T and she just seems like a dog lover.

You can never replace Paul O'Grady. He was a one off. A remarkable man who brought much more than just a love of dogs to the programme.
I can't remember the name of the lovely lady who used to joke on with him, but she would be a better bet than all those celebrities.

I’m sure she is taking over the world!! I’m sure she’s a lovely lady but she is on EVERYTHING!!! I find myself more selective with my programmes now as sadly I can find her quite irritating. Are the TV stations so short of presenters? Can we have an Alison break please?

I like Alison Hammond. She is a lovely person. Give her a chance.

Alison Hammond is a lovely woman, I think she will make a great job of the program just as she has with Bake Off. She may be loud and large but she can be quiet when necessary. Let's just give her chance.

But that isn't what's needed Crazymum it's about the animals not the presenter.

Maybe they should audition lesser known personalities ? Someone who isn't on tv a lot but can make this programme their "own" .

How do all of you critics know whether she’s a dog lover /saver or not, perhaps she had a quieter side who knows such a judgemental lot of posts.
If she comes across as awful in the programme then criticise her but give people a chance

I wouldn’t say I am drawn to loud people GSM being quite a shy person in social situations but I don’t think I’d be bored with Alison H or Rusty Lee another larger than life person They are fun and both seem kind hearted people

Give her a chance before you hang draw and quarter her

Paul O’Grady is a very hard act to follow.I do question why any presenter must be someone who fronts lots of programmes already.It would be better to find someone basically unknown perhaps who has a genuine love of dogs.Is it just me or is anybody else sick and tired of the cult of celebrity.

The only thing I can find in favour of A. Hammond is that she will be marginally better than A.Holden who was also mooted for the programme.

I have to confess I don’t actually know who she is. I would like to see Martin Clunes hosting it; he loves dogs, is a bit of a national treasure and has a tremendous amount of warmth about him.

Anyone but her!

Granny Gravy 13, you are so right. Give her a chance, Alison may surprise us all.

I like Alison too. I think you will see a warm, cuddly and empathetic side of her. Give her a chance. I also think she has made Great Bakeoff more watchable, bringing an element of fun. Prefer her to Matt or Noel. Don't get Noel.

AH is a TV/Radio presenter and would not be doing that kind of job she does if she were the shy retiring type, she obviously wants to be in the spotlight. I do not agree with calling her names, that is totally unnecessary but equally would not refer to her as "that poor women" Are we not allowed as viewers to prefer one presenter over another? I have never watched "For the Love of Dogs" but have seen her in other programmes over the years and find her rather loud, over the top persona is not for me.

Whoever was chosen could never take the place of Paul he was a natural dog lover with a genuine love of animals I don't envy Alison I would love to have seen Nigel Havers or Monty Don

Although she is more of a horsey person 🐎

I meant Nicki Chapman
And The Queen loves horses too.

Battersea Dogs Home wouldn’t agree with you, The Queen is their patron

I like Alison Hammond, not Nikki Chapman, she is so manicured she'd freak out if a dog jumped up at her. Not Camilla, she has too much baggage, isn't particularly warm and gets enough taxpayers money as it is. Martin Clunes would be fab, Paul is a loss though, great guy
