i like lee as a highlights programme anchor - she's got the right kind of... gravitas is the wrong word but she has a good strong presence on screen.

this is going to sound really girly (and possibly be a bit controversial), but i'd actually like to see her in heels and being a commanding excellent presenter but in a very feminine context. i think it's important to show it can be done - as a woman you don't *have* to act like one of the lads and wear flats and sensible boots when you don't need to. for all the flak she gets for the odd repetitive question - frankly guys, you try and think of other things to ask bored and frustrated racing drivers - she's a very very good sports presenter, particularly in the context of the fluff that sky promote to front all aspects of their coverage.
Yes she does seem pretty good, but what about that rather sickly permagrin she always wears??!!! Just a tad annoying?
