WARNING

Don't forget your hard hat, hi-viz gear and parachute. We lost a careless vice-principal this way only last year.

Hurray, it's the news readers...

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:23

I love the newsreaders - that must be the best job in the world - all brains and action then once a year you get to dress up in sequins and dance like that.

I am going to have to metaphorically kick Craig's butt for dissing Sophie though!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 19/11/2011 00:25

But that was sweetness and light by Craig's standards!

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:27

It's all relative, isn't it Grin.

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:28

But Sophie's my favourite! Bit of a disadvantage being tall though I s'pose.

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:30

I have a girl crush on Sophie Blush.

Where was Fiona Bruce?

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:32

Yup - with you there Lady D - she's one of the few in that kind of job that manages to come across as in charge and feminine at the same time, without resorting to either being overly blokey or simpering.

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:32

I hadn't spotted she was missing. Does she still read the news? Or is she more involved in presenting other programmes now?

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:33

Where isn't Fiona Bruce these days? I really like her too, but every time I switch on the telly she's on something else!

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:34

OMG! I never knew Justin Lee Collins could sing Shock!!!!

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:39

Justin Lee Collins did a fab series of 'challenges' a while ago and as part of one.

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:45

Definitely will have to look into seeing Lady Gaga live at some point.

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:54

MasterD1's teacher went to that concert last night and said she was incredible.

While I remember, have you all seen this old/new article?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 19/11/2011 00:56

I scored lots of cred with The Girl when I told her that I had SMFV bought a Lady Gaga cd.

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 00:57

Down wiv da kids and all thanks to Gizzy, eh?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 19/11/2011 00:59

Which one? There's dozens there!

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 00:59

Is that the twins someone mentioned earlier that are on again now?

Heartbreaking but both boys so sweet. It must be really hard for the presenters to hold it together too - I'd be a puddle.

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 01:03

Small will have a field-day at that comment RA makes about the Gizzy leathers being akin to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine kit! Grin

Oh sorry, Maud, I didn;t realise it was a whole page. Second one up from the bottom is the one I was referring to.

Spiro, I had the same thought re. Smallio Grin.

DumSpiroSpero · 19/11/2011 01:09

This isn't a good review, but it's pretty comical.

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 01:14

This isn't that complimentary either but at least it's honest about the reasons behind the casting of certain characters.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 19/11/2011 01:15

That was Fanny Thornton going to meet the twins, Spiro. She did look rather choked.

::Goes to read articles::

LadyDamerel · 19/11/2011 01:17

Do you know, I've seen that clip twice now and I could not put my finger on why she seemed so familiar. Dear Fanny, of course.
