Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostI often hear the end of ‘ In Tune’ as I drive into work for a night shift. It’ll be great to hear Petroc in his new role. I’ve always had my doubts about SR but my wife and I met him at an Edinburgh Festival play and he was such a nice guy. He even mentioned us on his show the next day!

SR became the regular presenter in September 1997 - a rare case of programme and presenter surviving for almost 30 years. PT acted as co-presenter of In Tune when Humphrey Carpenter left.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

So perhaps it’s a good thing that the latter isn’t taking over from the former. I disagree incidentally. Both are very good presenters.

I think that Tom McKinney gets better and better. I much enjoy listening to him. "Gravitas" is a much-banded about phrase which I'm not sure I quite understand. "Pompous" seems to me to be the nearest analogue but I am, as is frequently the case, no doubt completely missing the point.

I reckon Tom M will make a good job of the weekday Breakfast, although I'm afraid I am not completely happy with his Sunday slot - a tad too perky for my liking, I prefer something a little bit more low key, like Martin Handley was.

I agree with the second half of OOO's statement. But I think Hannah French has come out tops for me recently - well-judged scripts, a great microphone technique, perfectly timed pauses after items and occasional shafts of humour. (I also find her Yorkshire accent easier on the ear than the Manchester sound.)
