womanofdulwich Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I don't like Jenny Murray hosting Woman's Hour. Now she is leaving, how can I get Caitlin Moran to take over?? Anyone else feel the same? That programme needs an injection of fresh blood .

womanofdulwich Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 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?

womanofdulwich Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 I've listened to womens hour on and off for 28 years. I don't want to hear the same old. I feel quite strongly that as Jenny Murray has just announced her retirement we should have a younger person. She was starting to be irrelevant.

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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258852-womans-hour-new-host/#findComment-1438319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxjen Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 It may be an opportunity to rebrand the programme, the very title is anachronistic. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/258852-womans-hour-new-host/#findComment-1438327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

womanofdulwich Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 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..

Nigello Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 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.
