I think Brian's doing well, I'm willing him to do a good show each time he's on there - I think he's going to relax a lot more into it. I actually thought tonight was an improvement on last week, but I think that's might just be because I'm getting used to him more.

I have every confidence Brian will do a good job,he is very likable and he does make me laugh,and nice to see you on here too Joey:hugesmile:

Hi there Niamh,I've been busy working and looking after the kids,you know that multi-tasking us women are so good at,Can't wait for school to start again,the kids are great but boy do they bicker,lol,still loving the Gerard I see:xyxwave:me too.

She said sometime ago on Twitter she was going to watch when I looked at her feed, but I don't follower so that is old information.

Interesting to listen to Brian on the spin off show, I think he knows he has a way to go, which is good. It means he will keep working on it and it will just get better.

haha just back from a two week holiday with the kids , so yes absolutely, it is good to know that my kids aren't abnormal though :joker:

He was way better during the interview than presenting.

SaphLiike Davina is in Canada so she can't watch it, I'm sure she will when she gets back.

I don't mind Brian, I preferred Davina but he's not as bad as I expected him to be. He's better at ad libbing though, autocue and him just do not work together.

I get what you mean, it almost seemed if he was squinting at times

The interview was a lot better than I imagined. I do wish they'd tone down his make up a tad. He looks very overdone. As for his presenting, again, better than I thought and he did great on the launch show. I think he just needs to relax. He'll get there :)

Oh I need to see the launch actually, can't watch the shows on C5 website though as I'm outside the UK :/

Might be on YouTube but I heard that was being restricted also so :/

I don't agree she is impossible to replace. It's strange that they have gone from vastly overpaying a presenter (Davina McCall) to going cheap on us. Or maybe it isn't we are now dealing with CH5 and they are really cheap for sure. Just get someone in who has some experience in doing a presenting job and has some authority to them.

It's unlikely she would be that good either, too screechy. She'd be like a little girl presenting.

No weird stuff needed I agree, no campness, I don't want any of that. You don't make someone learn on the job with something like this, you get someone who is actually experienced enough in TV work to do it. The interview was ok (but very rushed because of the strange shortening cheapskate CH5 have done to the eviction program) but the rest was not, I'll have to have him on mute most of the time except obviously at the eviction announcement and interview.

I think he's doing great.

Probably one of the hardest set of shoes on tv to step into and i can forgive him for looking like a startled rabbit for the first couple of shows and i thought he was a lot better last night. For the launch and other live show he was concentrating on the autocue so hard he was going crosseyed but last night it seemed more natural,relaxed and he seemed to enjoy it more.
Brian as presenter is succeeding as far as im concerned the interview even though too short was handled fine good stuff brian.

I think hes doing well

Brian is useless. I wish he would stop going on about being Irish - it is nauseating.
