I think most of the stick he gets is for a perceived sycophancy towards the royal family. Likely misplaced, it goes with the territory of the role really.
Absolutely, there is clearly a reason you have someone with such live broadcasting pedigree in that role and we saw that on the afternoon of 8th September. I thought his 'upsum' after the announcement was brilliant - clearly the sort of thing you formulate over many years, but you can't afford to have someone in the role at that moment on the BBC who gets it wrong - and they didn't.
