I agree Bibblebub. I always liked Julia but I feel she was brought back just to satisfy the gripes about lack of older newsreaders. Since she returned to the screens, she doesn't seem at all at ease and as you say, she stumbles over her words all the time. Having said that, she's not the only one. Nicholas Owen and Matthew Amroliwala (he of the constantly flutting eyelashes) are also really really bad. Age should have nothing to do with competence for the job but in this case, poor Julia doesn't seem at all happy in front of the cameras. Maybe she's been away too long. Still think Moira Stewart is great though.
