Is Chris Whitty shrinking? ?

must say I thought the same today.

He always reminds me of the alien in Close Encounters....

Yes, MayBee70 , poor love, there is something "other wordly" about him!

biba70, glad it's not only me, kept waiting for him to put his arms down to see if my theory was correct.

Let's hope so - he might disappear!

He does look weird, but once he speaks I'm hooked. Such an eminent scientist.
Apparently he doesn't have a wife (or partner?), so maybe no one is sorting out his wardrobe for him of feeding him up a bit.

But who do you suggest takes over his role, Hetty58?

I think he should have spoken up against Cummings, unlike Jonathan van Tam who did. And he knows it. JVT was sidelined for it but, imo they now use him most of the time because people trust him. Well, I do anyway.

I agree Maybee79. JVT is great. Chris Whitty is a good man too though. I was speaking to someone who's worked with him and she was full of praise for him. A clever hard working man who's not necessarily glamorous. I hope he's not been ill. Could that be why he's shrunk and disappeared a bit recently?

Beauty fades BRAINS are forever!! Professor Chris Whitty has plenty of brains!

he does look like he may have lost weight recently.
i hope he is ok. could be due to stress, working late etc.

Scientists always come over as so trustworthy compared to politicians.

mumofmadboys, everyone seems trustworthy compared to politicians!

I don't know why - but he seems strangely tortoise-like to me, so not surprised he's single!

He looks worn out, poor chap, and in need of a decent meal and a good night’s sleep.
