What exactly makes Beth Rigby "Burley and Boulton's replacement"?
Yes, Beth occupies the post *once held* by Boulton, but Kay Burley is still there.
This to me seems to be a version of the very derangement syndrome you're decrying.
Also, speaking as someone who's benefited from John Ryley's professional generosity - counting myself among hundreds of journalists over 30+ years who can say the same (and you only need look at the tributes on social media yesterday from people inside and outside Sky to back me up) - THAT will be his lasting legacy, not as the subject of petty carping about personalities individual viewers may or may not like.
