Genuine question for the older folk on here. Was there any allegations of box ticking when diane Louise Jordan got the blue Peter job?
Don’t watch it regularly but have seen it a few times over the years. I like Alex and I think it’s a good appointment.
I'll see your Alex Scott and raise you one Sam Quek. Don't get me wrong I can see the appeal I just think Sam would add a bit more sass to the job. Bit like when they gave your Zoe Ball the breakfast show on radio 2 when it should have gone to the far funnier Sarah Cox. I can see why they're shaking the bag up though, I haven't watched it in years; like anything it needed a re vamp. I know folk are moaning about box ticking but whenever I've seen Alex present she's come across as far more than a pretty face.
From what I've seen of her I'd say Sam Quek would be the perfect team captain rather than presenter. She's more informal and witty while Alex is the more professional in a way.
Maybe it's time to have 2 female captains. Sam Quek and that swimmer who's been getting regular appearances over the years. She's funny, so funny I've forgotten her name.
