What TVNZ should do with Hilary Barry on Breakfast
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.
