How is the 2011 Rugby World Cup the big story for 2010?!

Call me cynical, but he isn’t possibly saying that because Sky don’t have the rights to the 2010 FOOTBALL World Cup???

I agree with Holly W above. This is a really positive step. Hopefully this means that, in the future, newscasters will get chosen based on their talent, rather than their appearance. The people we see on TV need to reflect our society as a whole.

There are too many people here this year – we can’t always get computers. I agree that there should be a ceiling limit next year, although it does mean City are producing more and more great journalists!

I’ve seen far too many journalists with camel toe.

I would like to see the Queen put Mr Humphrys in his place.
Also surely there’s another story in ‘underwater water ironing” to be pursued?
