Paxman To Step Down

[goodgoalie]

Jeremy Paxman is stepping down as host of University Challenge after 28 years .Any thoughts on who might replace him?

Oh please, just not Sandi Toksvig!

//any of those would give me half an hour a week back!!! //

You're not obliged to give half an hour a week away.

I'll be sorry to see him go, but I don't mind who replaces him - as long as it's someone who isn't going to turn it into some screeching nightmare like so many of the other quiz shows.

Clive Myrie

[davebro]

Dunno if he's in the right stable but - Warwick Davis.

[QuizmasterG]

Dara Ó Briain

[FatticusInch]

Camilla Long?

Colin Myrie

[barry1010]

Doh! I meant Clive, not Colin

[cashier]

How about Jeremy Vine? (Tongue firmly in cheek).

[ladybirder]

Is that Clive's brother? Never heard of him.

I too would like Clive but what with Mastermind and the News doubt he'd have the time or that the BBC would give him another job. He's brilliant at what he does do though.

[naomi24]

I think it will be a woman.

[goodgoalie]

Bound to be

Dan Walker

Reeta Chakrabarti.

You heard it here first.

[Redhelen72]

I for one would like Victoria CM to present it.
Or
Dara O Briain

[douglas9401]

Our Dara would first need to have his habit of saying 'aaaahhh' at the end of every sentence addressed.

[Khandro]

This is the Beeb we're talking about, straight white males need not apply.
It will be a woman, & I would chose Ann Widdecombe.

[cashier]

Apparently Sandy Toskvig is favourite, Richard Osman second and Warwick Davies third. Of the three Richard Osman would get my vote. I don't think S t has the necessary gravitas, and W D is just a personality free horror. I have watched since day one and wouldn't be able to with him as questionmaster.

[ladybirder]

It won't be a white man that's for sure. Nor a white woman. Reeta would be OK I think. As long as it's not Naga.

[tiggerblue10]

David Mitchell?

[douglas9401]

Odd that Mr Osman should appear on a short list.
