For poor GranmarDerby, moved to comment, but not paying sufficient attention to the show to know who she was, or why she was there. THAT was Keely Hodgkinson, merely the 800m Olympic champion, and last year's trophy winner, there to present it to this year's winner.
You didn't like her dress? I'm sure she's desperately upset. Maybe she doesn't have much experience of presenting awards or on a TV show, I gather it takes a bit of getting used to? Or possibly it was a late decision to get her to do the job, hard to tell from here in viewer-land.
The show is one of the longest running on TV, masses of tradition, and for sporty types, I hear it's a nice round-up of the year's sporting achievements. The BBC charter means it has to try and put on a huge array of diverse programming, so there's always scope for folk to moan that there's something on that they don't like. Well, get a book, listen to the radio, or change channel, several hundred to choose from these days! I never watch it for more than a couple of minutes ("oh, that time of year again"??), and sometimes none. But I see no point in moaning about it, doubtless sports fans don't want to see what I like?!
