I didn't think she tried too hard and I thought she came over better than Carrie did in her earlier days. Anyway, I couldn't give a damn about that. Look at the body on it http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/videos/chrismoyles/video/100215_cerealbox

Why am I not surprised that some are judging her on her first show, let's give her a chance first shall we, she needs at least a month to settle in, after all look how long it took before the majority of the audience took to Carrie.

By the way I agree with Travis Bickle

'It'? I'm all in favour of admiring attractive women, but could you at least afford her the status of a human being?

[hdsport82]

Aslong as she reads it well and atleast sound interested in it then that is her job. Her job is to basically read the sport, not dictate rules word for word and recall random facts from 10 years ago and know everything about each sport. It is a benefit but it is not exactly a must have attribute.

True but sometimes whether it be the phrasing in the script or the pronunciation even...the lack of knowledge can show through and irritate hardcore fans but then the majority of audience probably wouldn't care. Personally it irritates me more on when I hear someone on talkSPORT/5 Live clearly not have a clue about a particular sport and of course the Winter Olympics gives plenty of opportunity for that!

As I said earlier though this is an entertainment show and whilst obviously an interest in sport was important I assume a much bigger part of the selection process involved picking someone who will 'fit in'. Much like the kielbasa bit in Private Parts (the Howard Stern movie) when Robin gets fired a completely 'straight' news/sport reader wouldn't work.

Sorry. Look at the body on her!

I'll miss Carrie, but will give Tina the time to settle in before i decide!

[Yudster]

Tina doesn't need to know every exact detail of all sports. Aslong as she reads it well and atleast sound interested in it then that is her job. Her job is to basically read the sport, not dictate rules word for word and recall random facts from 10 years ago and know everything about each sport. It is a benefit but it is not exactly a must have attribute.

Well, to an extent she needs more than layman's knowledge, because she not only has to read the sport, she has to compile and write the bulletins too. But yes, encyclopaedic knowledge would be too much to ask!

[georgy]

I like her already. Immediately clicked with her over the cereal box game - cos we do it at our parties too and it's always a laugh, even with people who are wary.

[MacamdamiaPrince]

She immediately seemed ultra-confident on her taster show and was drawn to her, however it has now fallen and she doesn't seem to make the same impact as Carrie. Although i feel her appointment may have been influenced due to a lack of diversity in the team as it was .

She's got to settle in first off, give it a month or so & she'll be fine. Have to say that I totally disagree with your last sentence though.

[Cheryluk]

She'll be fine,I always really liked Carrie though.

[Travis Bickle]

I think a lot of you have forgotten what Carrie was like in her first couple of years on the show. She wasnt involved a lot and when she did say something it was forced and awkward. Granted, in recent years she was good and found her place in the team, but for ages she was rubbish.

In all fairness Carrie was rubbish from the day she started till the day she left.

Give the new girl a chance.

this coming from the anti-carrie brigade.
carrie may at first of been rubbish. but look what she did in the last few. just to name a few. carrie on footballers. carrie on camping. wimbledon 09. british grand prix.

other than the cereal box game. has tina done anything else yet??? other than read news.

how would you know? unless you work for the bbc. how have you heard tina's pilot show.

[northernsteve]

By "taster show" I think he means when she was briefly in, effectively as a guest, the week before.

[lynothehammer]

Intially I wasn't too sure on her, but she's growing on me day by day.

Gotten so use to Carrie, I think thats the problem...

[Wykey]

I think she might be quiite good!

She has a grasp of sport and she reads out the facts.

So far so good.

[chrysostom]

her confidence and * nature is good material for chris to feed off, and mock.

give it a few months and she'll have done something to endear the audience i think - also she's a gooner which is nothing but good news : more Arsenal player interviews hopefully...i miss Fabregas and Only gay in the Village.

[Yudster]

She's still a bit too "stage school" for me. She'll get there though.

[foot-loose]

Juliets leaving?!

[Johnny 1989]

Juliets leaving?!

She's gone I'm afraid, the show's in the archive

By the way I know Foots is joking before anyone points it out
