    I like her!! :) She seems genuine and down to earth and I can watch her on TV without wanting to punch her lights out! Unlike a certain other 'newsreader'.... :rolleyes:

    I like Fiona very much.
    She always comes across as approachable and friendly, but also has enough gravitas to report serious stories.
    The fun side of her personality was brought out on JTTOU, and she seemed to be really enjoying herself. She's been termed 'Lady Macbeth of the BBC' in terms of ambition, but if she has a ruthless side, she hides it well.

    Comparing her with Natasha Kraplinsky is like comparing gold with s***e.

    I think she's OK. I'd much rather listen to her reading the news than Hugh Edwards' drawl.

    Mr L2D has an adversion to her though. He thinks she's on tv just a little too much for his liking. I think it's because she looks like that woman that used to be in The Two of Us with Nicholas Lyndhurst. He finds her facially offensive for some reason. Used to say it was the non-existent lips. He thinks FB is much the same! :D

    Couldnt agree more!!

    I do like Fiona - she isnt my favourite but you ar right, she is a friendly sort of personality but can carry the serious stories. She probably deserves this overall, I cant really think of any other current newsreader I prefer.

    My all time favourite is Michael Buerk.

    She's good, except she should stick to news and not do that Watchdog/Panorama-esque programme on a Monday evening (can't remember it's name). Would be nice to see her a little more than just a Friday evening.

    Having said that Huw Edwards is a legend, and I prefer him presenting the Ten O'Clock News.

    She's ok as a stand in for the Ten o'clock news and she's does a good job on Crimewatch. I wish she didn't do the game shows and human interest programmes though. But thats where the extra money is for these presenters.

    extra money for someone who earns a silly six figure sum or something...

    don't like her - give the award to someone with a bit of personality (like Sarah Smith)
