For the love of dogs, Alison Hammond?

A good team and programme , just keep loud Hammond away

Paul o grady was such an amazing man his love of dogs shone from him,
Perhaps martin clunes or ricky gervais would have been good they are animal lovers

 

[InvictaMoto]

Watched a short bit of the first one. They could have at least got someone that owns a dog and who looks comfortable with dogs. She doesn't look like it's anything other than another job.

I think Michael Ball would have been a better replacement. A true dog owner/lover who is a softie as well.
Alas, I think it's all about "diversity" and if it wasn't someone like Hammond it would probably be some white, trans, vegan that got the gig. Nothing to do with suitability.
It should be all about the dogs and highlighting their plight.

No, it's not the same without Paul's genuine charm and care oozing from every pore, however, the programme is about Battersea and the many dogs looking for a forever home and from several other rescue centres, by watching it and keeping up viewers it ensures the animals can have their say. That gorgeous face on my avatar had to be put to sleep on Friday, it breaks your heart to lose a special friend, RiP Rosie.

Paul O'Grady was unique, glorious one-off, and I don't think there is anyone who could follow him on any programme. When he cuddled a lonely dog who needed some comfort you KNEW he meant it.

Ms Hammond is far too ebullient* and enthusiastic for my taste, and I cannot watch her - everything she does seems to be about HER reaction to it all, she's even ruined Bake Off.


(* my spell check wants to change that to embalmment )

* i dont even know what it means

I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[Paulypaul]

Yeah, sorry for your loss as well.

Paul O'Grady made the programme, parachuting someone else in just doesn't work.. The same as Top Gear.

TV programme makers are a particularly dim bunch who seem to have no Idea what viewers actually want.

Alan Davies does a dog show on another channel I wonder if he would have been better for this?

 

[Gromett]

I propose Ricky Gervais replaces her.

Alison does not come over as being genuinely concerned for the dogs.
Paul will never be replaced but I think they need a presenter with a more human touch, less me, me, me and less pushy, we see more of her than the dog!
I will carry on watching the show as I like the way Wood Green works.

Not Wood Green. It's Battersea. Think you've mixed up the programmes.

I'm very cynical and I wonder if they put Alison in as they know it's impossible to replace Paul and when they use a more suitable presenter next year we compare him/her with Alison and not Paul
