    is it just me ? old chestnut i know but with terrestial tv starved of racing surely the morning line has to be up there setting a standard not just ticking over waiting for the day of reckoning

    thank god for j francombe i say cos without him it would be doomed . get lesley graham anchoring it , drop t lee , tania every week and you might start getting a show .

    i might be out of order but unless something done i cant see how viewing figures will not fall?

    agreed Louis! Lesley being phased out I reckon as not as young and pretty as Emma Spencer even though she is pure class.

    Oh dear "as least your post was in English." Can anyone tell me what that means?

    Shall we all just try and answer the questions. Didnt know I was back in English Literature class!

    I usually watch it, but no longer bothers me missing it. Especially if Jim McGrath isn’t on. Richard Hoiles is poorly used, his form book knowledge makes him second only to Jimbo on C4.

    Quite like Tanya on the Morning Line, it is Emma that seems only there to look good. She’s o.k. as a presenter, but don’t ask her any form questions please.

    I know Tanya and Francome needed time, but Tom’s had enough now. And sorry Tom, we’ve all had enough.

    We should hear more about the horses!

    I just watched the morning line, I know that I am getting old and conservative when it comes to fashion, but looking at lesley Grahams jacket my first thought was did she get it from a homeless person.

    Not usually one to comment on such things, but the jacket did look like one of Worzel Gummidge’s old hand me downs. Either that or she got dressed in the dark. :shock:

    Of course, the jacket is probably very expensive and " fashionable " :roll:

    I think it needs to keep Big Mac to keep us entertained.

    Hoiles and Luck stand out like a sore thumb on the programme. Suggestions that Hoiles’ formbook knowledge is behind McGrath’s I think is well wide of the mark.
