Although nobody can present UKFood as well as Jenn, to me she is a wonderful host for this programme but who would you like to see host her show when she goes on holiday? I think Fern Britten and Phill Vickory would make a good team. Fern knows all about hosting and of course hubby can cook. What does everybody else think it must be someone who hasnot presented before.

Easy - the lovely Silvana Franco!

Michael Parkinson or Billy Connolly.

Sandy Toksvig - I love her sense of humour and she looks as though she enjoys her food.

I thought the lady that did it recently (Julie Peasgood?) was brilliant, so I wouldn't want somebody who hasn't done it before.
I don't know who Silvana Franco is, but SlimJim is obviously infatuated. I must look out for her.

I think at the moment I would plump for Kilroy, at least he would be able to air his opinion on the food.


Colin, if you pop onto the bbc food site, and click on chefs, there is a piccie and biography on Silvana Franco.

As I love people with a sense of humour and fun, what about Sanjeev Bhasker who presented Delhi Belly on UKFood (as well as starring in No 42 with the Kumars and Goodness Gracious Me)? He could present with one of our wonderful female chefs, such as Lotte Duncan or Lesley Waters.

Loyd Grossman and Tamasin Day Lewis...:D

LOL Jennifer! Only if GFL wanted to lose all its viewers...

Hmm like Mary's suggestion of Billy Connolly but think I'd have to choose Eddie Izzard.

:D

I too think Fern and her husband would be excellent, she is a natural
What about AWT and his wife?

Or what about Richard E Grant and Arabella Weir who appeared in BBC2's spoof cookery programme Posh Nosh?

Love the idea of AWT and his wife though, good one Jilly.

Linda Barking(sorry)Barker I think she would do a really really good job, :D
Actually I think some of the old Blue Peter presenters would be good like Janet Ellis etc.,

Please not Linda Barker. GFL is about the only place I can watch without her popping up.

I think we need someone with a bit more about them. Jeremy Paxman perhaps or Trevor McDonald.
I agree definately not Linda Barker - she drives me mad!

What about some of the viewers doing it...or part of it. I'd love to do a bit of Jenny's job....I could do that..."gizajob"

Put the flags out!! I thought I was the only one who found her really really irritating!
Jeremy Paxman?? He'd frighten everyone to death!

If you want a husband and wife team what about Dawn French and Lenny Henry?

How about Jodie Kidd, we could all watch her make excuses why she should not taste the food.

Rustie - thanks for the biography tip, I now know what Silvana Franco looks like.

Georgie - Sanjeev is a great idea.

Burman - you must be leaving the room when the ads come on...........

It's a while since I was in the UK but doesn't Carol Vordeman appear on TV even more than Linda Barker?

I love the idea of Lenny Henry and Dawn French, that would be fantastic.

Who is AWT's wife? Would she be a good presenter?

Dunno why I'm bothering because I won't see it whoever they choose *sulk* *pout*

AWTs wife is a cook too Mary
They have done a few shows together, the last if I can remember was from the Good Food Show a few years ago
She also helped him out in the kitchen when he did a programme from their home

Mary - Linda Barker has taken over from Carol Vorderman. She's on everything at the moment! If she's not prancing around with a pair of scissors (Curry's ad!) she's promoting her yoga video Most annoying.

How about Jonathan Ross or Lily Savage hosting the show - nobody would get a word in edgeways! LOL If it's Lily Savage then don't have any wine tasting! I remember quite a funny episode on This morning involving Lily Savage & wine! LOL

Jonathon Ross and his wife Jane would be great, at least they could put a family viewpoint to some of the food, and it would be funny.

Mary you are so lucky you don't have to see Linda Barker on your TV ALL the time, you are missing nothing, she is dreadful, even worse than Carol Vorderman now, you have no idea what she has been up to.

Perhaps it's because of the Jungle thing she did with AWT and Phil Tuffnell did?
