Kaddy Lee-Preston from BBC South East Today, she also does the BBC Inside Out show for the region, very nice personality & nice looking lady- but not shall we say the sharpest tool.

No idea who Kaddy is but yes probably so but not so now that's for sure, I can't work out how Parkin got the job over Gemma makes no sense, another reason why he irritates me[/quote]

For sure, although I cannot see any continuity at all- the regional news is now no longer regional & Fred & Sangetta have zero chemistry working together & the show is pretty sterile.



Probably because they had a "fair" selection process, so had to keep presenters from each of the 3 merged regions, I imagine to give more of a sense of continuity to viewers... Though the ones they picked just do not seem to "work"... Confused[/quote]

A couple of weeks back when Helen James was on with Fred there was chemistry between the two and it seemed and enjoyable program but Fred and Sangetta just dont get on.
Elshere do any of you think Maryn would of been chosen for main weather man if he hadn't of gone on his month holiday to Australia?

Who is Kaddy ?! First class honors degree ? Is this what jolly Gemma has then ? Did anyone notice on the last 'old' Meridian Tonight SE how she looked quite angry for a few seconds after she walked on set ? I'm, sure she is not happy at being dumped...Parkin can't even be bothered to wear a tie can he, what a scruff ! He's so arrogant

Good grief! Do you think you could go for a week - or even a couple of days - without harping on about Gemma.

Your obsessiveness is incredibly irritating.

I never thought she was that good anyway.

Kaddy is the main weather girl for BBC South East, a family member of mine was interviewed for a segment on Inside Out which she also presents- he said she was very nice, but very slow & her producer kept having to give her the questions that needed to be asked, as she was pretty clueless.

My local pub landlord and landlady were on both South Today and Meridian Tonight recently being interviewed about the size of their water bill. They commented to me that the BBC reporter (Alan Sinclair) was an absolute professional who swept through his report, where as Meridian's Tom Savidees kept fluffing his lines and making mistakes.

A friend of a friend's sister's daughter told me that Geoff Clark has a fake beard and he only wears it on South East Today to make him look hard.
