wondered what other people think of who would be best to replace him
as lead presenter of The Sky at Night.


The guy is irreplaceable; the S@N format of an old geezer in his study

does
not suit anyone else. The show will likely die with him, to be replaced

by a
completely new show with a more modern style of presentation.






Format probably like BBC Click, also lost in the nether regions of
scheduling. Just a regular in-camera link-person but moving around various
planetaria/observatories as backgrounds, rather than the nightclubs of
Click. And a cluster of reporter/interviewers for sub-topics.
Click is probably cheap programming but I rate the intro piece of video up
with the best programme idents.
