She won't fill them 'cos she'll be far better than Jake Humpty Numpty who should have stuck to Blue Peter or whatever kids show he came from.
I personally think Jake was a good presenter. But I know opinion has largely been divided.
He wasn't at all knowledgable. He just seemed to ask stupid question after stupid question (probably why he's now going to be presenting footyball). If they got rid of Eddie Jordan, the BBC presenter line-up would be the best it's been since the days of Murray Walker and Johnathan Palmer.
That is the host's job. To be a proxy for the less knowledgeable fans and let the colour and tech people fill in. He wasn't in the commentary box, he presented the pre-shows and wrap-ups. I think he did an outstanding job and I think the pairing of Jake, EJ and DC was a great team. It bugged me when they got a little too silly sometimes with Top Gear style pranks, but they seemed to reel it in and get back to putting on a very good show.
Jake, EJ, DC, Ted, Martin B & the lovely Lee... That is the epitome of a great F1 group. Yes Murray would have been nice, but I don't think he could do an entire season of GPs anymore.
