Have you seen the Rachel replacement, Anne-Marie, today, - she's dressed in a white and red-striped marquee worthy of being from a circus big-top. However what really gets me is the way she pronounces 'H' as in 'Huh-aich.' It's 'huh-orrendous' to listen to.
Any other pronunciations that get to you?

First 15 to 1 with William G Stewart, now an hour with “lights out”Toksvig.Then Coundown with Richard Whiteley now with grump Anne Robinson.A shame.

I download it from All4 - runs at about 40mins with minimal adverts and (if you skip the appallingly stilted AR and most guests) takes around 25 mins to watch all the quizzy bits.
It would have been a nightmare this last fortnight without a FF button - Ruby Wax was a shocker and Tim Vine is also astonishingly irritating.
haitch (rather than aitch) is a valid regional and cultural variant - it's pretty much the norm over here in Ireland - it might not be RP, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.
For me, the gear-grinding bit from Anne-Marie is the superfluous 'a' or 'an' in front of every small number ... why??
