For me (us) - we have switched to ITV because Tom Bradby is amazing. Human, with just a touch of sarcasm, SOH and despair- and a face and expression that says it all, while remaining totally professional.

Wonderful man.

I like Simon Conway and Zora Suleman, both on LBC. Both have authoritative but calm and clear voices without any irritating accent or mannerisms so I can listen to what they're saying rather than the way they're saying it.

I also like Tom Bradby. Writes books and screenplays, got over a serious medical problem to get back on screen.

Tom Bradby for me, I like his asides, and I have started to watch the New at Ten on ITV rather than BBC because they are less afraid of tackling controversial issues such as the disgraceful state of many rented properties and the inability of the housing associations to do anything about it. I also like Clive Myrie.

Calistemon, I love the BBC's Novak reporter. She looks as though she would be fun.

I enjoyed a couple of his books.

Have I got the right one - she always looks exceedingly grumpy!!

I would have liked to see Kirsty Wark take over on Question Time instead of, in my opinion, the insipid Fiona Bruce.

IMHO Simon McCoy was the master of the superfluous comment. And, hilariously funny.

George Alagiah was a friend of mine at school, then as happens we all went our separate ways.
My Mum noticed his name when he was the BBC Africa correspondent and we followed his career with interest.
I'm very sorry to read of his continuing health concerns and wish him and his family well ?

If it is her, kittylester, she looks lovely there but very bad tempered when I've seen her recently!

We only watch BBC. Another vote for Martin Lewis, followed by Sophie Rayworth and Kate Silverton. Rita Chakrabarti has a pleasant smile but she can make even mildly bad news sound like the crack of doom.

Kate Silverton used to do the Saturday tea time news, but she hasn’t been on lately. Thought she must have left.
