I met David Dimbleby a few years ago when he and his wife stayed at my Bed & Breakfast. He's really lovely and does have a great sense of humour, but I agree that he comes across very different on TV. If you were as old as I am you'd remember his father, now he definitely didn't have a sense of humour one bit. He was a pompous old oaf!
If you ever saw the famous spaghetti harvest film you would know Richard Dimbleby had a great sense of humour. He was also a great war correspondent, have a listen to his despatch on entering Belsen with British troops, it's on the BBC web site.You cannot fail to be moved.

Another vote for Keith Lemon.

Joe Pasquale, another one that should be confined to children's TV. Just noticed he's on Pointless tonight, oh well hope he gets knocked out first.

Don't know about 'would' put me off watching. Dimbleby does stop me watching. Bring back Robin Day or another with sense and humour.
To be fair, Robin will be well over 100 now. With very little left of him.

Don't worry she's leaving Breakfast soon and going to the obscurity of Newsnight.I could never understand her bizarre obsession with the weather and why she thought we might be interested in her opinions of the news.
I don't mind Naga at all but!.... how do you know she is moving onto Newsnight can I ask?...

Carol Klein - she might be an expert gardening presenter but her terrible patronizing voice is terrible.
I thought it was only me!... I always turn off if I see she is on a gardening prog,


Phillip Schofield. I wanted to watch that Prince Philip programme, but just couldn't.
Ditto Holly Willoughby.
Anything that has Joe Swash in it.
We think alike Jimmy.... Pip, is way at the top of my 'don't watch' list... thinking about it I don't watch any Holly Willoughby progs either...
And as for Joe Swash i just think he needs to go to a voice trainer or some such, his voice is diabolical....

So after going through everyone elses list It looks like a lot of us are in agreement!....

I NEVER watch anything with these people presenting....
Philip Schofield
Holly W
Carol whoever she is!....

Another name it looks like I am on my own with, and I love the programme!.... Catchphrase.... is Stephen Mulhern but I just cant watch it......

I watched Newsnight for the first time in a while with James O'Brien. He was poor, he really didn't have the intellectual capacity to carry a serious interview. It reflects badly on the person at the BBC who gave him the job in the first place.

He does a phone-in on LBC Radio in London in which he spends most of the time talking about himself,also very patronising to callers.

I can't stand Paddy McGuinness.

I also disliked Kate Thornton, but not sure she is still around presenting wise.

If Naga goes to Newsnight can she take Dan Walker with her. He is such a light weight and interrupts every other presenter who comes onto the sofa.

NO, if he has to be on our screens confine him to sport only and keep him away from the serious grown up stuff.

BBC Breakfast is predominately the home of talent less smug presenters

Dan Walker - smug creationist who is allowed to excuse himself from stories about pre-historic days and not work Sundays because of his beliefs - An utter t*&t

Steph McGoven - Condescending, poor language ability, common with no class - spent the first few years on BBC Breakfast in desperate need of a make over - She looked like a bad drag queen.

James Corden - We've lost so many good people this year but not him the cruellest joke

Evan Davies and his voice over on Dragons Den!

Entrepreneur : "Here is my gadget and I'm looking for £50,000 investment"

Evan : "Entrepreneur hopes that his gadget will secure £50,000 investment from the dragons"

etc

It always amuses me when Steph is on location in high viz jacket, helmet etc and everyone around her is wearing normal clothing.She hasn't exactly mastered English grammar yet either.

Where to begin. Kay Burley has to be the most up her own backside person on UK TV, closely followed my the Nagging Machete on BBC Breakfast. Talking of BBC Breakfast Dan Walker is as lightweight as confetti and Steph needs to learn grammar PDQ.

Why does BBC Breakfast need two presenters when Louise was absolutely fine on her own this morning ?
