Not sure whether Sue Barker was 'asked' to step down from presenting Wimbledon recently as part of an 'age reduction' process, but I feel she will be a bigger loss at that regular event. You only had to look at the plaudits from seasoned tennis professionals at her leaving to understand how respected she is. Rarely, if ever, used notes when interviewing people; now probably replaced by an autocue reading person from a different background...

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

I'm not sure I could have made a case for any of the candidates this year.

One more point

The rating numbers for Football Focus has plummeted since Scott has presented the show. That'll make her a shoe-in to present Match Of The Day if mouthy Lineker gets the push.

Same thing happened when Jacqui Oatley took over the Sunday Supplement and the show was cancelled 6 months later.

If you see an oval blue box on a news item called 'BBC Verify' it's the BBC new secret weapon.

I'm already getting it, goddam it, it ain't true unless the BBC verify it.

Biden, Sunak etc. the beeb rules ok.

Or Laurence Fox.
