Why does Fiona Bruce stand in that tarty pose with one leg thrust forward? I think it looks really tacky.

[naomi24]

For balance? I prefer to see a newsreader sitting at a desk.

[rabet]

Me too!

It's taught. It's suppose to slim your outline, but in reality if you use it in the wrong place you look like you might be plying a dodgy trade.

[sunny-dave]

Bring back Reginald Bosanquet ... hic

[Baldric]

Got your attention though, didn't it?

[stuey]

Richard Dimbleby didn't carry on like that then, Did he?:)

[askyourgran]

No Richard just sat there like a tub of lard.

[jno]

some think newsreaders sitting behind desks look too much like schoolteachers lecturing ignorant pupils.

[rabet]

kvalidir, yes ,exactly my point.

[agchristie]

Victoria Beckham always does it. I do wonder how she doesn't fall over.

[Slapshot]

Something very sexy about Ms Bruce, I suspect that the modern BBC would rather their new presenters actually looked good delivering the news in order to compete with those channels who quite obviously employ lady presenters for just that role. Might be wrong but that's modern news programs

[rabet]

Yes, she is very sexy; but she is presenting the news, not fronting an establishment in Soho.

[askyourgran]

It used to be a model's pose lengthening the body and showing off the drape of the clothes.

[agchristie]

^ it's not a classy look ;-)

Nice to see a bit of relaxed newsreading .There are some readers who you just want to shout at the screen "Cheer up it not your fault for heavens sake "
