Title: And finally... Sir Trevor to leave News at 10
Post by: Simon on October 31, 2008, 10:06
Veteran newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald is to make his last appearance as co-presenter of ITV's News at Ten next month, the broadcaster has confirmed.

The 69-year-old will stand down from the high profile job after presenting coverage of the US elections.

They've moved it about so much in recent years, nothing would surprise me!

Thankfully, Sky+ solves such problems - not that I watch News at Ten or ITV that often.

I can't remember the last time I watched a film on TV, but some Freeview PVRs also overcome the 'news break' problem too.  :)

I can't remember the last time I watched ITV.  I don't like soap operas and ITV drama is poor quality.  What else is there to watch (apart from the odd footie match, which His Lordship enjoys  ::) ) ?

I won't miss Sir Trevor - I hardly knew he was there.

Theres a new episode of Sharpe on this sunday and next Gill. Its in HD as well so once I figure out how to get ITV HD on my new sat box that should be worth watching  :)

Dont forget the Brazilian Grand Prix is also on this sunday, hopefully Hamilton will do something stupid again and Felippe Massa will be world champion  :)

If there was ever a guy who could not act, it's Sean Bean .................totally wooden. But I supposed its the look of him that takes your fancy  ;)

Felipe is the nicer guy Tony, hes worked hard to get where he is and his only mistakes this year have been caused by ferrari not him, otherwise hed have had the championship in the bag 3 races ago.
Lewis has messed up a few times, through his own mistakes and still has a lot to learn about being a top driver. I never did like Maclaren much, always the first to cry out if they get beaten and try ato blame everyone but themselves, so even though Lewis is a brit I would prefer Felipe and a ferrari to win  :)

I do like Sharpe :) ; those skin-tight trousers are definitely worth watching, over and over again (which is why I've got the DVD collection).  Okay, so ITV has broadcast Sharpe , The Sweeney, and probably a few other gems, but the company doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to quality television.

As for F1, the best thing about it was The Chain - and ITV doesn't even use that!
