Phwoarr! I’d like to Andrew her Marr

I thought I’d take a moment to share this story from the Mail – apparently it isn’t from 1974.
Susanna Reid had to stand in for Andrew Marr after he was late arriving for the paper review part of his weekend show. I guess that’s vaguely interesting to those with an interest in politics or media, or anyone who’s a fan of Reid. How did she do?
The 39-year-old host was wearing a chic dress, just the kind of outfit that has helped her to acquire an army of fans during her time on the BBC
Great, but, er, why was Marr late?
On BBC Breakfast News on Sunday Susanna is usually behind a table – so, to see rather more of her was no doubt be a treat [sic] for her fans
No, but, surely as an experienced presenter there was a difference in the programme’s style? At the very least there’s a weak Marr/Reid coalition joke to be had, no?
Susanna’s internet fans think she is the sexiest presenter on the BBC and regularly post up videos of her wearing short skirts or unintentionally flashing her bra through her blouse on air.
So we learn that Reid has many fans, all of whom she’s won because she has tits and legs.
How does the BBC work? I don’t know if a 15-year-plus veteran such as Reid – who has a degree in politics, philosophy and law, which she followed with a postgrad diploma in broadcast journalism – gets any bonus for standing in, but I do hope she spends it on something pretty.
