Woman's hour new host

[womanofdulwich]

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 .

Caitlin Moran is unbearable.

[Ladygooner]

Anyone but Jenni Murray.

Why?

[womanofdulwich]

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?

[Clutterqueen]

Isn't that being ageist?

[womanofdulwich]

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.

[Clutterqueen]

Well she is irrelevant now!

Kim Kardashian ?

[womanofdulwich]

Who is she? Is she an educated individual with life experience that the average woman can relate to?

[KidKruger]

Absolutely.

With (I think) her own clothing line too. Soon to perhaps be First Lady, so best get in quick..

[SpringTime]

Anjem Choudary please.

[Clutterqueen]

Who?

[Ladygooner]

Fi Glover gets my vote

[womanofdulwich]

Interesting, though predictable.Fi and Jane always sound like chums.

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

It may be an opportunity to rebrand the programme, the very title is anachronistic.

[Spartacus]

Let's mix it up and have RuPaul present it !

[womanofdulwich]

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.
