Now give Sergeant a proper job

Ex political hack John Sergeant has doubtless provided the nation with much entertainment during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, and his parting shot at those who persisted in taking the wretched programme far too seriously was as graceful as his dancing was grace-less, but perhaps the BBC should take this opportunity to give him a proper job.

Two possibilities spring to mind. He has been by far the best of the numerous temporary presenters used by Have I Got News For You since the demise of Angus Deayton, and his appointment as the permanent replacement could restore the show to its former glories. Alternatively, he could take over Question Time, which is badly in need of someone of Sergeant's political nous after more than a decade of Dimblebore.

Quite agree. 'Have I got news for you' is fast becoming boring and not at all as it used to be, the same for 'Question Time' but because of political bias by the BBC not sure if John would be their choice, but Dimbleby must be put out to grass.

David Dimbleby must be put out to grass not just on QT, but also as election anchor. His acid self-importance, already tiresome on this year's local election coverage, was absolutely insufferable on this year's US election coverage. Kick him out, and replace him with someone decent, like Ed Stourton or Matt Frei.

Chances are, alas, that we'll end up with Huw Edwards.
