Came across as very poorly prepared at the top of recent show which really is a no no for me. As a previous poster has said the social distancing rules make it difficult for the presenter ..but in my opinion the lad need to up his game considerably to hold on to this prime show slot.

But now I'm beginning to think he's far too one dimensional and predictable. I know these are odd times and maybe he's being schooled to give a certain message.......... but to my mind he's too much 'on message', PC. 'yes manish' and generally lacking in spark. If RTE want to save these shows, they need to have a few presenters and rotate them. Otherwise find a decent sharp mind.
