For The Love Of Dogs.

[roopower]

I do hope this is an April fool gag but I've just read that Amanda Holden is taking over from Paul O'Grady. That's another programme I won't be watching then.

[wolf63]

It says that she has been 'lined up' for the job. It doesn't actually say that she has it.

I couldn't find a story in a real newspaper.

She would be awful

[Tilly2]

I thought it would be Julian Clary.

[wolf63]

I want the big black dog in my link to the Mirror

[Vagus]

He looks like our dog but four times bigger, wolf :)

[Tilly2]

Too big for an apartment, Wolf. :-)

[roopower]

Its in / on Birmingham live, whatever that is. They say she's got the job so I hope they're wrong!

[smurfchops]

Me too, can’t stand her.

[FreyaBee]

Noooh. might as well rename it "for the love of Amanda"

[roopower]

I'm glad I'm not the only one - I think I could put up with Julian Clary.

[Rosetta]

Please please not Julian Clary. I dont think Amanda Holden has the empathy to do the job either

[douglas9401]

Oh come on, it has to be Rylan.

[Vagus]

If Amanda is a dog lover and makes people watch the programme, which raises awareness, then how can that be a bad thing?
I’m not dismissing anyone who takes over from Paul, I’m just waiting and seeing.

[pastafreak]

I fear that people would watch for the wrong reasons...not a good thing.
Anyway...does anyone actually *like* her??

[mumstheword1]

She is not for me I am afraid. Julian Clary yes but not her.

[douglas9401]

''Ere, 'ang abaht, what about Pip Schofield?

He's looking for a gig.

[Tuvok]

Nobody can replace him in that job.

Trying to think of somebody - I agree about Rylan. What about Bradley Walsh?

[ladybirder]

Like her or not she was a big friend of Paul O'Grady' plus an ambassador for Battersea Dogs Home. Paul would be thrilled she has the job so that's good enough for me.

[ladybirder]

Sorry for the extra '.

[LadyCG]

I don't care who does the job, as long as they love animals that's all that matters. Though I must say I think Rylan is a fantastic suggestion :-)

Either way, they're big boots to fill.

[Hopkirk]

Rulan is a terrible suggestion. He can be entertaining but it would be all about him not the animals.
No to Amanda Holden too.

If only Martin Clunes had the time to do it.
