My apologies I didn’t realise there was two Johny Goulds with low key sports presenting roles on their CVs. I always assumed the Talk TV was the one who’s presented American sports on Channel 5. Now I vaguely remember him being on Brainteaser but Alex Lovell and Craig Stevens are more memorable but that’s besides the point.
I think that demonstrates my point though, few know who he is and you want someone with at least a bit of profile as a starting point. I disagree about Nick Hewer, he’d certainly built a fan base thanks to pulling faces on a major BBC programme and shown some wit on TV panel shows. But yeah he was very much of the moment. And of course you could argue the point that Whitley didn’t have any kind of national profile when he was chosen, although I think it would be unlikely a mostly unknown would be given the role now.
By the way, I’m not trying to be antagonistic towards you, just trying to counter your points.
