    I hate the fact kid's presenters are now pretty - kids can't tell the difference between a 18 and a 50 year old... when ?I was kid - Peter Duncan, Simon Groom, Johnny Ball all cool (even Percy Thrower) but now the Blue Peter presenter is an ex-miss northern island blonde fluff-tit thing - this upsets me - Johnny Ball could do cool stuff like add up...

    You're expecting presenters to have talent?

    Surely not. :eek:

    The ones with talent are called "researchers"...
