Allows the show to trundle on for a year with a 'tried and trusted team' approach rather than going for a Phil replacement who would be scrutinised relentlessly and doomed to fail from the start.I agree with that. The Phil replacement would receive undue coverage like you say
Ratings would be analysed and taken out of context, comparing a heat wave day with the new host versus a snow day with Phil. There would be stories that viewers don’t like the presenter, how the show is in crisis as viewers switch off, all based of course on a few tweets
Bringing in a new face into the ‘family’ quietly and then if popular making them the main presenter is a much better way of doing it
