Not a programme I watch because of who presents it, I suppose some may of course.

[ichkeria]

Well I’m sure Nigel Farage’s turn will come ...

The comments beneath that link are hilarious.

[ichkeria]

I’m sure you don’t mean you don’t watch because Dimbo presents it mamya :-)

I still remember Robin Day in the very first edition mocking the poor woman in the audience: “What have you got in that handbag!”. Those were the days. And now an actual WOMAN is going to present it? Gah!

i have up qt after i realised it was rigged, left wing bbc compliant
i call it the bbc creep, all things bbc programes dramas..multicultural
specially historic dramas programe, i know a bit about history..
let's be accurate, and itv does it know with commercials and dramas
inclusive...mmm, not reality

I think it's only fair to give Ms Bruce a chance Khandro, you may be surprised, unless you have already made up your mind.

[Mamyalynne]

I mean I watch it for the content (painful though it often is) , I don't watch it to view the presenter.

[Patsy33]

Fiona looks more like a GP, than a tv presenter!

[douglas9401]

I'm sure the fragrant Ms Bruce will give the BBC exactly what they want.
The rest of us can go whistle.

[Rosie29]

Well the upside is if she is doing qt she might not be reading the news as much

[Cloverjo]

I've never thought of FB as anything other than a newsreader and presenter of Antiques Road show*

I don't see the left-wing bias that is often mentioned here.


*I almost put Acorn Antiques

[Hopkirk]

Fiona Bruce can do no wrong.

[Khandro]

Antiques Roadshow was, and still should be, about learning, (and btw, I know a lot about antique furniture) But the Beeb instead of employing a knowledgeable presenter in this key role, placed Ms Bruce who knew zilch. Their policy continues now in the political sphere.

[Ken4155]

She's there as a sort of referee, Khandro, not passing herself off as an expert on all things political. Neither does she pretend to be an antiques expert on AR. Take a chill pill for gawds sake.

[Hopkirk]

Khandro, they have plenty of experts.

The lovely Fiona is employed as a presenter, not an expert.

Did you feel the same about Michael Aspel and Hugh Scully?

[Canary42]

Condemned out of hand before she's had a chance to show what she can do in the job.

How typical of the biased pre-conceptions all too frequently displayed here.

[Zacs-Master]

She’s the senior citizen’s piece of top totty. She attracts people to programs because of that. Anyone who doesn’t understand how TV works is a bit out of touch.

[ichkeria]

I see from Wikipedia that Ms Bruce, who sounds like ahe knows a thing or two about
politics, keeps off social media because of the misogynistic abuse it is known for (which it is). Sensible but sad.

[Khandro]

OK, I'll wait and see, but remember, you have been warned.

Zacs; // She’s the senior citizen’s piece of top totty.// Not this one's, I remain true to Anna Ford, - now she had a brain.

[emmie]

i don't watch QT any more, its well past the witching hour, but she could turn out to be a good presenter of the programme, give it time.

[Hopkirk]

Don't forget Sue Lawley.
