I'll statt with one who not many people will know unless they follow horse racing. Megan Nicholls, daughter of trainer Paul, is only 27, but her knowledge of the sport is amazing, she is a real professional, and likes to have a laugh. Also she has another career modelling clothers for events like Royal Ascot and is probably one of the best looking women on teleivision.

Opposite ends of the spectrum!!

Neil Oliver - Reform advocate and alleged conspiracy theorist?

Redlisa Mon 11-May-26 13:38:08

Neil Oliver and David Attenborough?
Climate denier and planet protector! Wow!

Witzend

Simon Reeve

In Scandinavia.

I didn't see it last year, thoroughly enjoyed it this evening and it was very enlightening too.

Claudia.

But one person tops them all for me - Terry Wogan. Don't think anyone will ever better him when it comes to Eurovision.

I’ve always loved Luke Harvey, ever since I saw a documentary about him and he then had a slot on Radio 5 ( when they dropped him we wrote and complained to no avail). He’s so self effacing. I wasn’t taken with Megan at first but she has grown on me. I still think of her as a little girl with her dad, though ( where has the time gone).On the radio I listen to Must Watch every Monday and the two pundits, Hayley Campbell and Scott ( I always forget his surname) work so well together (well they have been working together for a long time). Also Naga Munchety (sp) started chairing the programme when Nihal left the BBC and, although I never watch breakfast tv I did get the impression that I wouldn’t like her, but she’s great and has really gelled with the other two. If for any reason the programme is cancelled I go into panic mode because I enjoy it so much…it’s like they’re old friends and there are so many in jokes.

Not really a TV presenter as such but I like Orla Guerin and ​Kate Adie (though don't see her much these days).

Lona Sun 10-May-26 16:17:09

Dan Walker for me, he's just so normal! Love him and his lovely dog Winnie.

Allira Sun 10-May-26 16:16:49

I don't fancy him, just enjoy his programmes!

Fartooold Sun 10-May-26 16:12:08

Another one here for Ramesh Ranganathan, I think he may be flattered that us old grannies fancy him.

Krishnan Guru Murphy
Clive Myrie
Amol Rajan
Claudia Winkleman
Fiona Bruce

I also like Romesh Ranganathan presenting The Weakest Link and Simon Reeve when I need a dose of reality.

Allira Sun 10-May-26 15:01:59

Clive Myrie (DD said she could fall in love with him just because of his voice!).

Kate1949 Sun 10-May-26 15:00:07

Also our local weather man Des Coleman in his sharp suits bouncing around like Tigger.
