John Humphrys

JH will be sorely missed by me.

I am too Anniebach. Today won't be the same without him, even if I do mostly sleep through the best bits. I do like John.

Chewbacca

I agree, he always struck me as a very kind and sensitive man

A man of compassion
I met him there in 1966 and this was 50 years later

He was an excellent journalist; incisive, tenacious and never one to be deflected by a politician who was trying to wriggle out of giving a straight answer. I listened to him interviewing one of the young victims of the Manchester Arena bombing and he demonstrated a completely different side: compassionate and gentle.

As for those who say it was time for him to move over and make room for a younger person..... shame on you. hard to believe we're in the 21st century

But Goodby they avoid answering questions so if the question isn’t repeated we would never heard the answer to the question would we ?

Well Yes Annie I am may well disagree with them but would prefer to hear what they have to say first!

Give a politician a chance to express their viewpoint?

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.

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)

Uggg Jeremy paxman awful man
Can’t say I ve ever felt anything for John Humphries I too thought he’d died from the title and opening post

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.

I miss Jeremy Paxman humpty

Yes eazybee , I do hope he will continue to broadcast

Eddie Mair ? I think he did present the One Show as a guest presenter !

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..

My point was hat these well paid oldies don’t want to make room for new blood. Apparently these jobs only come up for grabs ... well, hardly ever!

Eddie Mairs would make a fine replacement. In my opinion.

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.

Ah yes Annie! All part of his attraction!?

Yes Annie I remeber him presenting the 9 o'clock new on the BBC and his beautiful accent...;

I first met him in 1966 when he was a young reporter for the
BBC, he left school at 15 and worked his way up,

And on a personal note , he is Welsh ? ???????

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 sure I remember him retiring from the Today programme once before, several years ago. It wasn't the same without him so he returned.

Oh Annie, I agree, my mornings will never be the same, just adore his voice

I too am bereft! The last of the big beasts! everyone else seems - light weight? certainly by comparison! He will be sorely missed!☹️☹️

Yes, he's still going to do Mastermind.

ug very ageist! JH has lost none of his edge - love his interviews, I'll miss him.
