Caitlin Moran is unbearable.

Because Jenny Murray is 70, and its time for someone younger. Jane Garvey is 56. It needs mixing up a bit. Jenny murray was too fixed in her views IMO. I was turning off when she came on. Im surprised anyone listens to her if they are under 55. Wee Queenie- you should apply?

Everyone in broadcasting is 'fixed in their views' because if you aren't, in this climate they come back later and bite you on the bum!

Julia Hartley Brewer has her head screwed on ...but I doubt if she would ever kow-tow to the BBC

Is Victoria Derbyshire any good ? I know she did some pioneering stuff on the whole vaginal mesh thing, I think its still important to have a place for womens issues. Is she too campaigny ?

I thought the job of a good journalist was to open things up. I can still be open to ideas and change my mind, even if it takes a while..

I think Victoria will be seen as too similar to Jane Garvey. Both are of a similar age and both have that 5Live style which is expected, given both worked there. I?d go for Liz Green or another regional host but I think the BBC will think it?s best to go young and/or ethnic minority. It?s a good programme but tilts too far to affluent/academic in its content these days. You and Yours is more entertaining, useful, friendly and eye-opening and has a largely female presentation team.

    • Hi She’s chipped and spayed and let out in the back garden. She hadn’t found her way to the front yet (which would have to be via other people’s back gardens) - but we’re worried she now has and has got lost.  Do your scanners pick up any microchipped cats? Thanks Emma
    • I was recommended George McMillan of  Rodemption Pest Solutions as I had a wasps nest in my roof. I just wanted to say he was very efficient, super conscientious and a very nice guy. My wasps nest is history! his number is 07977 522294
    • Hi, Is Linda spayed & microchipped? & was she let out into the road or garden? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes, so will keep an eye out for her.
    • Have you thought about applying for a Taxicard for her? They have black cabs,although also Addison Lee so you'd have to request a black cab. The service is subsidised to the user for a set number of journeys each month. She can have someone with her for journeys. You apply through your local borough.
