The new presenters aren't really working


They're trying hard, and Charlie Ross is perhaps the best so far, but they're not the same as Tim.

And it doesn't help that they're saying his lines. While I like Anita Manning she is the worst offender, using phrases that Tim came up with - "it's wiped it's face", "it doesn't sound too bad if you say it quickly", etc, but they sound wrong when she says them because he doesn't have his panache. She was good as an expert, and particularly as an auctioneer, but as the presenter she just isn't up to the job.

Also we now have a situation where the same person can turn up as expert, auction AND presenter which frankly isn't right and could lead to accusations of a stitch up.
