TVNZ can’t be surprised that Paul Henry was devouring their ratings. in comparison to frumpy old Breakfast on TVNZ, the Paul Henry Show had a beating heart and personality.
The only real energy on the show comes from Nadine Chalmers-Ross, and it should be in pairing her up with Barry that TVNZ look to utilise the full impact of a coup like stealing Hilary away from TV3.
Bless Rawdon Christie, but he’s so dull. Like an embroidered doily. Rather than limit Hilary as some side salad to a male ego, why not replace Rawden with Hilary and have her and Nadine Chalmers-Ross host the show together?
Why can’t two women host a Breakfast Show? It could be ground breaking, intelligent and offer a real generation shift.
Pairing Hilary with Rawdon is like getting the Warriors into host an after function for Alcoholics Anonymous.
Unadvisable.
“the Paul Henry Show had a beating heart and personality”
You’re taking the mickey, aren’t you, Martyn??
I agree with you about Rawdon Christie, though. He’s not really suited for “Breakfast TV”. He needs something more ‘meaty’, more serious. He’s be better suited on Q+A or somesuch.
The funniest pisstake I saw recently on Breakfast TV was a short segment on Hunt for the Wilderpeople. It summed up everything that’s wrong with Breakfast TV formats, and Taiko Waititi nailed it perfectly.
Anyways, I rarely watch Breakfast TV. It’s moronic. I prefer Radio NZ instead.
Tell her that journalism is as important a job as being a mother, so the same care, responsibility, honesty and dedication is needed to do a good job.
