Quote: Badge @ March 29 2010, 11:29 PM GMTI agree but Barry Norman was the same. I think we have to accept the Hollywood publicity machine will often mean fawniing interview or no interview. I'd prefer the latter but I understand why they go for the former.
No, I didn't mind Barry. But Ross made shitty jokes that were often just embarrassing.

I thought we had something special, but I see now that you're just a floozy. 
I had heard that Basil Brush was going to replace him but was considered too similar --
I gave up on the Film... series after Barry Norman left, frankly, so they can do what they like with this programme post-Ross. Just so long as I can still hear the Kermode/Mayo film reviews I'll be more than happy. 
I have a serious crush on Claudia Winkleman, she makes my tummy go all squiffy, so the more she's on my tellybox, the happier I am.
Quote: Badge @ March 29 2010, 11:21 PM GMTI like Claudia W but in my mind - maybe wrongly - she has a very flaky persona and that's not what I want from the nation's most important film reviewer. I want substance, gravitas and believability. Funnily enough I thought JR was a decent host of Film xx because he toned down his rude-and-crude antics for the film audience. Maybe Claudia will be able to tone down her persona as well, but from this distance I am not optimistic.
Fortunately, as there has hardly been a decent film in the last 20 years the problem is only likely to be a minor one.
Claudia is a very capable host of a culture related show on Radio 2 every friday night, she knows her films, maybe not as much as Norman or Ross but she's not clueless and I wouldn't be surprised if she was just the main presenter and they had other reviewers on with her (like her radio show).
Aw. Squiffy tummy.
She's not very similar to her mum. Luckily for you.
Cor!! Hate to miss out on a good cor.

She's not very similar to her mum.
She will gradually turn into her mum, though. It happens to us all. If we're a girl. We turn into our dad if we're a boy.
Maybe she'll turn into her half-sister, Big Suze from "Peep Show"?
