The, "to produce," phrase tempers the 'Wish List' somewhat.
Now, if it had said ... 'to present'. |

Agreed onlooker.

Terrible scenes around the dinner table tonight as Lesley Graham realises that she does not have to trim her upper lip and Big Mac reduces his bath count to one every two weeks....

Perhaps they are making room for Claire.

So why are Alice and that non-spotter of market movers the ever expanding Tanya still being employed..

Director and producer. 'Linked to' a rival bidder's submission for the racing coverage.
Nothing vaguely exciting or interesting tbh |
|
By:
Anyone who presents racing in such an outfit has lost touch with reality
A flowerpot for a hat indeed |

if two had to be pushed , I would gladly give the elbow to Lord Snooty and C4's version of W. Carson , Emma Spencer . She never gives out worthwhile info or insight !

By:
I believe one of them is Tanya's stylist.
|
|
By:
What's the bedding it's Tanya
 |
|
By:
Plonkett should definitely be first head on the block
|
|
By:
Worst four by absolute lightyears, in no particular order:
Catteremole, Spencer, Graham and McCririck. Even if only one goes, it will be a massive step forward. |

Plunkett to go swardean? That's uglyist!

THE battle to produce Channel 4's vastly expanded racing coverage over the next four years took on a dramatic soap opera twist on Wednesday when staff on duty for the broadcaster at York were informed that senior colleagues Denise Large and Sophie Veats would not work on programmes for the foreseeable future.
Highflyer Productions, which has been responsible for Channel 4's output since the network entered racing in 1984, has informed long-time director Large and Veats, producer of The Morning Line since its overhaul last year, that they are not currently required amid allegations from Highflyer that both have been linked to a rival bidder's submission document. Channel 4 will next year take over coverage of the Grand National, Royal Ascot, the Derby and British Champions Day after beating the BBC to win exclusive rights to televise British racing terrestrially between 2013 and 2016. The prize of producing that coverage has sparked enormous interest with the BBC's racing producer Sunset + Vine and IMG - the largest independent producer of sports programming in the world - both seeking to land the Channel 4 deal. Highflyer chairman John Fairley said:"We are deeply involved in preparing what we hope will be a very strong bid for the new Channel 4 Racing contract, covering the next four years. In the circumstances in which we found ourselves with Denise and Sophie, Highflyer felt it better for all sides that they should not work with us during the period of the tender." A Channel 4 spokesperson added: "We are aware of the matter and are fully assured and confident of Highflyer's ability to deliver the 2012 horseracing contract." |

Fat Al would be my first choice, he's a complete and utter embarrassment.

Luckily i don't have to watch it,having RUK thank god,but is there one of that C4 crowd you would employ if you started from scratch?
|
|
By:
Can't think of one myself.

Ah thought you meant a new CH4 show

The racing post must be in dire need of cash as even some simple news items are members only now, this coinciding with trainer and jockey stats which recently became inaccessible to non paid up members.
two nondescript members of the Channel 4 team are ousted but cunningly they made it a members only news item to make people think it was a big news story and a couple of high profile members of the team had been sacked, I suppose if they catch a few fish in the net everytime its a success?. |

By:
RUK,no irritating adverts.

Just even more irritating REP-tiles
