Winkleman on Film 2010

[doings]

Anybody catch this?

I like Claudia but her ditzy image and 'just got out of bed' eye make-up is all wrong for a Film review programme.

I can't imagine any big stars being sensibly interviewed by her. It's the wrong programme for her.

But who would you get to replace her? . . .

Umm. I like Mark too but I don't think he'd be right either. He can get a bit bolshy at times and go on one of his rants.

There a bit of a gap isn't there - no personable, knowledgeable, sensible youngish presenters.

Love him or hate him, J Ross certainly knew his stuff when it came to films

johnny vaughan?

mark gatiss would be good

is he a film buff?

well he's just done that bbcfour series on the horror genre and he certainly has an interest and knowledge

I thought she was ok actually. But she needs to talk much more slowly (as does the other bloke). I thought it was a nice direction to take what's quite a tired format.

Also, I think she does know about films.

Jonathan Ross was terrible! He was such as asskisser - he always LOVED the films.

Have not watched Claudia yet, but am not optimistic. Saw some pics of her in a mag and she looked like an oompa loompa she was so orange...

Feel I must stick up for Claudia as she is my favourite tv talky-type person. She is fab on Strictly ITT but due to the wonderfully shallow glitziness of that show she doesn't get to show her more knowledgeable and "grown-up" side. This she can do on Film 2010. She has more than demonstrated her love of things cultural and ability to talk about them in an accessible way on her arts show on Radio 2. More importantly though, she really makes me laugh. Although Jonathan Ross was hilarious on the radio, I too found him a bit too obsequious when interviewing "stars" on telly. Claudia is a much better, more self-deprecating interviewer. More power to your elbow Winklewoman. Plus, it's only been one programme. Think she will grow on people.

I didn't like it and the other contributers were awful.

Wow so much negativity! Admit CW was a tad orange though - bit distracting..

i must admit to not watching her on it, but rarely go to the cinema at all now. and i am a massive film fan, just not the shite they seem to churn out now.

maybe they just want a fluffy presenter to represent the industry now.

Honestly, she's not fluffy. She's not Fearne Cotton or Holly Willoghby. She's good.

And SEA - haven't you seen Inception?

ooh no i admit that did sound good, dp wasn't keen

You MUST see it. You and your dp will talk about nothing else for hours, if not days.

ooh good, will try and catch it then!

Am all for films which promote argument discussion with DH. Will also make effort to see it. And report back...

Ha! That should read argument discussion. Am new here. Does it show?

Is this true? That's really sad. I never liked JR much on the show but at least he had a background in loving film. She's just a by-the-hour presenter!

Noooo! Don't agree. Think Claudia loves film too - just not in such an obsessive way. Find her easier to relate to and would trust her judgement more on a film.
