(You get some interesting news via this website at times!)

Some of the comments esp. about Joe Swift are a bit caustic!

Accusing the BBC of ageism seems to work.

Cynic! ;-)

Don't get me wrong. She did the right thing. I am sure her successor is
pleased
with the result too. Too many very competent female TV presenters have
been
discarded to make way for young bimbos.


I agree. Trevor McDonald is heading the interesting Tour of the Med
series. It's hard to imagine a woman of the same age and grizzled hair
being allowed to do the same!


Not to mention bloody Bruce Forsythe.

Martin, by the tone of your posting, are you saying he should be 'swinging'?
