I don't find Tom Bradby amazing, how strange! irritating almost certainly, especially with some of his asides, for example "make of that what you will" he seems to be the master of superfluous inane comments,hmm

Personally I love George Alagiah, lovely man, always delivered the news in a professional way, sadly suffering from cancer now.

Huw Edwards for me too. Professional, neutral and easy on the eye.
Agree with others that aren’t keen on Tom Bradby, I want to hear the news not his interpretation of it.
Like Aveline I do prefer to read the news.

I've always like Huw Edwards. He seems so sincere somehow. However, I got so fed up with the news when it was Brexit Brexit Brexit and really only check for the headlines these days. I prefer to read the papers for more in depth news and commentary.

I like all the BBC ones . But I also like Tom Bradby who has a whimsical way of conveying the news. So I often switch over to the ten o'clock news on ITV if he's on.

Huw Edwards

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.

Is that you Mrs Bradby?

BBC - it’s Jane Hill.

We prefer C4 News there days,as the quality of BBC news has deteriorated significantly, in our view. We consider Matt Frei C4’s best newsreader.

Charlene White on ITV. Having seen her on her documentary and Loose Women I like her personality.

How sad that someone thinks that a man who reads the news is amazing
Scientist who find a way to burst blood clots ( in the news yesterday) are amazing not a bloke in a suit reading an autocue.

I've moved on to Channels 4 & 5 for news nowadays but I even limit my intake of that in favour of altogether lighter stuff.

I think Bradby is immature with his comments and expressions. And yes Calendargirl sums him up.
I wish George Alagiah were on.

I agree with calendargirl and sarnia about Tom Bradby.

What makes you think he is a 'Wonderful man', Kali? Do you know him personally?

We watch either BBC or SKY but the adverts on Sky drive me bonkers.

Sarnia Wed 12-Jan-22 08:33:34

I like Clive Myrie. I dislike Tom Bradby for the same reason as Calendargirl .

Don’t listen to ITV News, stick to BBC.

Not keen on Tom Bradby after the fawning interview with the Sussexes, when he asked how Meghan was, and she thanked him for asking, nobody else did apparently.
