He’s had a good innings Annie in an industry that is notoriously difficult to break into.
At the age of 75 years it was high time he budged over to give a younger person a crack at it.
Wogan was the same.
And loads of others, clinging on by their fingertips. I’m not saying they weren’t good at what they did. Just greedy perhaps - for the money and/or the fame?
I thought he must have died in the night! OH reckons there will be no one over 40 working for the beeb in the not too distant future.
OH listens to the radio more than I do from the days when he drove for a living. JH is better than his colleagues. Most have grating voices that make me switch off or over.
People such as those mentioned are irreplaceable and always will be. Programmes/films are never the same without them. I no longer watch QT since David Dimbleby left.
I am so sorry he has gone; I enjoyed listening to him eviscerating Cameron this morning for the final time. My suggestion is that he replaces Andrew Marr on Sunday mornings who unfortunately has lost his touch.
I don't think there is any plan to replace him, is there? they have quite a large team of presenters now. Eddie Mair left the BBC, not sure if he'd be welcome back. Personally I'd like another bulldog - Jeremy Paxman or Andrew Neill would do..
I just want an interviewer who’ll let the interviewee finish what they’re saying without constant interruption. I know it’s necessary sometimes when a politician doesn’t answer the question but sometimes they hardly get a word in.
Mr Humphries had a better balance than many, especially that woman who’s name escapes me, so I hope they find a well mannered interviewer to attempt to replace him.
John Humphrys isn't my style at all. I prefer an interviewer who gives the person being interviewed a chance to express their viewpoint & then I will make up my own mind! I would love them to bring back Ed Stourton but please not Jeremy Paxman (he has put me right off University Challenge)
Couldn't disagree more Goodbye! I didn't like JP on UC initially, he was very stern, but he has mellowed a lot, joshes with the students at times and is entertaining.
