welll said Feefs, but over at briandowling.net the average viewing figures for smtv ran at 1.7 mil, last week the new figures were released and smtv ratings held very well at 1.6 million. James Redmond was chosen as the new presenter but I can only say he must have fallen like a lead baloon because Brian was called in to to be a guest/star presenter after an appearance on smtv at christmas and apparently got loads of emails telling him they wanted him back. I doubt very much they got that feedback on James Redmond, but maybe this is the core of the problem, Brian Dowling is more popular than James Redmond and is a far better presenter with who for all his experience is as wooden as they come so there appears to be someone who would like to knock Brian because he is so popular after all the line up was going to be Cat, James, and Tess but Brian was asked back for some reason, maybe James Redmond is very jealous of Brian and who knows who Redmonds buddies are, not mentioning any names.
Yes everyone loves a clown and ant and dec were the greatest plonkers i have ever seen, Brian appeal is very similiar .
