I get a bunch of Italian channels. Even their game and chat shows can be, ahem, entertaining.

I don't understand a word of Italian, but it really doesn't matter.

Her Wainright's Walks series was fantastic.

It inspired me to head to the hills clad in multicoloured cagoulery and upbraid those selfish, inappropriately attired individuals putting our already overstretched emergency services at risk of further inconvenience.

Good for you and Malc.

Personally, I’d still prefer to spend a weekend getting muddy with Elisa Isoardi.

But on reflection do we really need to see old women on TV just for the sake of 'fairness' and why have they booted out Michaela Strachan, as she is still quite hot? What's her face from Newsnight is also quite hot and getting on a bit. I believe the modern term is 'MILFs'.

She's an air-head, with regards to her being "hot", you need your eyes testing.

If they’re going to go through all this trouble they could have done better than that Bradbury woman. Is Liz Bonnin looking for more work?

She was told in November 2008 she was being dropped after working for eight years as a freelance presenter on the show.

Looks like we can all now claim compensation for ageism against any client that doesn't give us an extension.
