Susan pushed, Sally removed from screen, Imogen/Amanda passed over

You can't be serious to think that these are high quality presenters:

Osman - fluffy

Challenor - looks embarassed to be on screen

Sellars/Parr - horrendously prissy

The sooner that the patronising Vacher and Garmston reach the revolving door the better.


how's your co-viewer of HTV West, the sheep in the garden behind your house doing then?

Your opinion as a viewer is obviously the most important, but it's a shame you don't know the real characters. Susan was incredibly talented at interviewing, adlibing and bringing a spark to even the dullest co-presenters (I completely agree with you about Vacher and Garmston).

There are problems at Points West that can't be solved with however many frontline changes you make... UNTIL there's a change in the management.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?

Take it you missed tonight's 19:20 edition then.


Nick, she was the second anchor woman dropped like a stone. She's now down to two days a week and filling in occasionally.... In the industry that's being 'removed from screen'. Filling the odd sunday bulletin or holiday cover, is hardly a return! I hope it happens, and I'm sure when Alex Lovell is given the chance to fail properly, it may just happen that Sally will be back in the chair more often.

You reckon the actress will be better?

You are clueless.

To be fair though Susan was good at protecting the desks from hot drinks

It's ironic. You think those in the industry are such a joke... and they think even less of you lot: The armchair experts/Hospital Radio DJs!

Life's rich divide: those that CAN, and those that want to.

There's no point in divulging any more newsroom info to you lot. You just want to talk about doilies. Sad, sad old men.

Mind you Sara Edwards was wearing a very impressive doily this evening -- looked very warm indeed.

Nothing at all to do with BBC West of course but we have to make do during this gossip crisis.
