Title: Dimbleby gets bullocked!
Post by: Simon on November 12, 2009, 17:58

David Dimbleby is to miss chairing BBC One's Question Time for the first time in more than 15 years after being injured in a "minor farming accident".

The 71-year-old was loading a bullock onto a trailer at his farm in Sussex when it reared, resulting in the presenter being briefly knocked out.

at 71 should he really be playing with bullocks?

Well, if you can, why not?  He might think twice now though.   :)x

Shame, I thought Jeremy Paxman would be far more entertaining.

Or Jeremy Vine.  :)

I don't rate David Dimbleby at all.  I have never understood why Auntie insists on using him for elections or royal funerals.

No, just moved to ITV. Similar, though. Tom Fleming has the best voice for this sort of stuff.

I think it's a prerequisite that you're dead, Clive. ;)
