I think the extra session break is the least of the oddities.Last edited by Billy; 30 April 2019, 10:57 PM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"

I know it's a silly triviality, but what started out as a mild disappointment in seeing Hazel's presence diminish from the hosting duties, is now becoming a worry. I hate change and this new girl is terrible. Please, if you're phasing Hazel out, find someone better. Jill Douglass would be my choice.Last edited by Billy; 30 April 2019, 11:15 PM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"

It is typical BBC to have a new presenter and find a sport or show for them to do despite them having no interest or knowledge in it. Its happened on many a sport, including bowls.

This is a far cry from previous years when she has shared the presenting duties on the flagship afternoon show with Jason Mohammed and alternated on the graveyard evening highlights show.

I heard Higgins say in an interview that the schedule needed to be tweaked a bit. He had to play a session immediately following a late night.
