Just that.
I thought he was leaving in order to do his own thing... yet here he is again today!

He's everywhere! Perhaps he has a double.

Ha ha.
Maybe Grammaretto!

I like him, shame he’s decided to leave the UK.

I read that he will take his family to India.

Oreo

I read that he will take his family to India.

I like him too. I knew he was leaving the Today programme but not that he was going to India. Or maybe you just mean to visit?

From what I’ve read he’s considering a move to India in the future whilst starting his own company here, he’s continuing with University Challenge.

I think he’s an excellent broadcaster.

Thank goodness he’s not leaving University Challenge.

Well I'll be delighted when he leaves the Today programme!

I wish him luck elsewhere as some people do obviously like his style.

Hear, hear. He’s spot on.

I never used to like him and then he grew on me and I realised he was rather good.

MayBee70 Wed 22-Apr-26 22:46:39

Same here. Not sure if he’s slowed down or I’ve just got used to how fast he talks.

Well it seems he's in the new Traitors line-up as well.

Seems to me he's everywhere!

I love Amol. He's in your face, but never in a rude way, and he is very, very well informed, and also seems amazingly well read. He always hits the nail on the head with his questions, and is one of the few interviewers I absolutely trust to go to the heart of the matter. Another was Martha Kearney, who has also moved on. Amol - you will be missed, like Martha.
