I think guest presenters is a nice way to mix things up a bit and can help to generate a bit of buzz around the programme. I guess the only issue is it could be seen as something that undermines Colin status as host. Although I’m not sure Colin needs time off if he just does his regular show, which after all is in more or less the same place.
I think there is an opportunity for Channel 4 to push Colin’s profile and that would be to make him their lead presenter on England football, particularly as I don’t think their coverage was that distinctive before. I know he’s not English, but Gabby Logan isn’t Welsh!*
*Just realised she is Welsh although not born there and of course represented Wales in the Commonwealth Games.
