Our brains have suffered the gradual censorship of political correctness; BBC Breakfast this morning has two men presenting and it feels odd. No PC bimbo perched there in kewpie doll makeup and bright colours with that dim grin and squeaky voice. And obligatory suits and ties. It's sort of reversed Stepford Wives.

I give it six months before both males are transwomen!
Someone probably called in a sickie. Ben doesn't usually do the main presenting job. I resent the comments about the female presenters on bbc breakfast, Naga and Louise are both great and far better than the ghastly Piers Morgan on the other channel chatting about celebrity gossip.

two transgenders would be good but why not cut straight to the chase..two drag queens. Lily Savage and another
It is usually standard to have a male and female presenter together, which indicates that one of them was chosen for their gender rather than performance.

I don't see that that follows. Even if they both meet a gender requirement, they could both be chosen for their performance.

If gender wasn't a requirement you would expect roughly the same frequency of male male, female female, and male female duos, only we dont.
They did try a gay couple on "This Morning" but Rylan Clarke's husband was unfortunately abysmal.
They have to look at the dynamics of the show, rather than just choose the best presenters, as if the presenting team are like a family. People like to see a balance of different ages and sexes on a general news show.

I dont care what age sex or species they are, as long as they dont squeal, giggle or talk over people.
And as long as they are not Greg Bloody Wallace.
