[Daley Mayle]

She has a news magazine-type programme that goes out at 9.15am on the BBC News channel and BBC2. It covers what is currently in the news and breaks every now and again for updated headlines/weather etc. She is a very good interviewer and has recently covered difficult issues such as an elderly survivor's experience of a concentration camp and Down's young people talking about their lives. She listens to what's being said and only gives a prompt or intervenes when necessary. She has also interviewed politicians in the run-up to the GE and she was successful at getting answers and cutting through the crap.

Mrs A and I watch this most days, and she's good. Researched, doesn't take on too many stories, and intelligent.

Almost like a proper journalist. It won't last - seriously, the BBC will cave in as soon as she upsets a Tory.

Really?? I think it's an awful show, suited for BBC1 at 9pm like Kilroy - not on the news channel. The pieces are boring Mumsnet type fluff and VD herself has the rapport of a turd. Can't believe the the BBC has given nearly two hours of it's news channel for this dirge. Sky News must be loving it.

Bit of a divergence of opinion there. Both her and Nicky Campbell have a much wider remit of subjects to chair than R4's Today where Humphreys almost takes a pride in his ignorance of anything outside of the Westminster bubble. Apart from groaning old man stuff.

She's also easier on the eye than the Beast Of Splott.

Whining, reactionary, faux contrarianism. How this excuse for a broadcaster got within a million miles of a C30, let alone a Sony, is completely beyond me.

I see Victoria has a stand-in today. Does Mz Gosling pass the Fish Tank test?

Why am I not surprised? It is the Leftie BBC, after all.

Now on - Crime in Schools

I bet excluding kids because their shoelaces are too long or their pencil case is green instead of blue doesn't even get mentioned.
