Talent or suitability of the position will not be the criteria for selection, like everything else in today's World, it will be chosen on ticking identity boxes.

If it's not chosen on Identity and is chosen on experiece, then Richard Osman or Victoria Coren Mitchell, I imagine would be strong contenders.

Humphrys seemed fine as a host , I never had a problem with him. But I guess they want to switch things up .

Samira is a brilliant choice, nothing about gender or race, just a brilliant choice.

Time will decide that, and so will the viewers.

Sacred quiz is Mastermind, been going a long time. Don't want to annoy it's hardcore following.

I saw her do The Proms, I'm sure she'll be fine, just don't start changing things around would be my advice.

It's a great job she's landed, and at a great time for landing the job, because next year will be the 50 anniversary.

Strange for Humphry's to leave on the eve of that anniversary, especially with maybe a few bonus perks happening next year.
