”We can’t just ask the questions, we have to question the answers”

That’s such a good line.

Lucy Hockings has been presenting the One O’Clock News all this week. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time a Kiwi has ever presented a main BBC One bulletin. :sunglasses:

She’s presented the News at One before, not sure if she’s ever done Six or Ten.

Without trying to invite the Daily Mail to write an article about accents it’s interesting to hear a slight New Zealand twinge in with the British accent.

Seems like the “temporary demerger” has begun with UK taking some separate programming from the world feed.

Overrated return imo guys. People acting like she’s the greatest person to ever read an autocue… also she gives off vibes of being the best thing since sliced bread.

Completely disagree, I’m afraid, mate… she is very warm and friendly, which is more than can be said for some of the robots who have filled in over the last year. She has a really big following on socials, and I think that is because she has a nice way about her. Also she’s not afraid to laugh (though that can sometimes be to her detriment…)

All of the benched ladies brought their own sense of class and polish to their presentation. Absolutely agree it’s great to have these trusted faces back on board compared to some of the robotic fill ins we’ve seen over the last year. Some have been better than others but it’s great to have some real professionals back.

It was stupid of the BBC to try and get rid of them in the first place - but then logic and reason have always been foreign concepts to BBC managers. Anyway, they’re back now, and not before time!
