Where have the presenters gone?

They seem to have a lesbian and a bumbling idiot that used to do BBC Breakfast news.

Why are these fools on here?

I am assuming you are not talking about that wonderful work scheme where you eat your lunch whilst "doing your work". much like I am doing right now.

No the BBC TV program you watch while skiving from doing work while eating your lunch

I thought that too - Adrian Chiles prefers football and the One Show.

The bumbling idiot seems to know nothing whatsoever and sits there giggling. He may even be the less successful brother of the fat bloke in the Nationwide adverts...

The revised show has taken quite a slating. The old show, whilst quirky, was informative and created a small loyal following for those that found "Loose Women" just a touch low brow. The new version works on lowest common denominator, and is, well, pants.

The fat presenter is hopeless as above,
Naga the lady accomplice came over from Bloomberg and is actually quite knowledgable I believe but like Stan Laurel she cannot get a decent word in.
Much prefered Adam Shaw and 'tother regular chap but realise the old presenters need to progress to other things. Mind you that Paddy charachter that used to be on was a total prat.
Needs sorting BBC. There is too much repeated stuff too, normally Sky+ it and FF through the tat. A bit like Top Gear I suppose.

Quite representative of the current financial crisis then.

He's not that bumbling fat bloke is he....?LOL

I watched this for half an episode today as am back from USA and work from home here in UK so make a point to try to catch it....WTF have they done.....? It seemed really unprofessional and amateurish, not just the presenting, the camera work and the production too?

I am wondering if the Working Lunch budget was invested in their share tips and now they have less cash than Icealnd, hence the cuts!

As it is the BBC, and a fat bloke trying to talk about economics, it would be Declan? He should join Radio 1 - he would fit in perfectly there..
