BBC presenters Huw Edwards and Tom Bradby need to grow up
Daily MailCould there be anything more childish than the spat between Huw Edwards and Tom Bradby over who has most viewers for their evening news bulletins? Edwards, who presents the BBC’s News At Ten, posted a taunt on Facebook that millions are turning off their sets when Bradby, his newly installed ITV rival, comes on screen. Scroll down for video Rivals at ten: BBC man Huw Edwards, left, and ITV's Tom Bradby, right, are in an unseemly war over their pitiful viewing figures In any case, they should be ashamed that they preside over programmes that attract such pathetic viewing figures. Verdict: Former BBC correspondent Michael Cole despairs at the decline of the once-great ITV and BBC news bulletins By promoting Bradby, in turn, to boost the personality stakes, ITV is, I fear, doomed to disaster. Missed out: Bradby, pictured right at the start of his interview with the newly-engaged Prince William and Kate Middleton, failed to spot that Kate's engagement ring was once Princess Diana's And perhaps unintentionally, he sounded condescending when he recently advised viewers to ‘look online’ if they hadn’t understood his exposition of the ‘complicated’ tax credit changes.
