Goodness, gracious me!
A travesty! Ms Stuart is still an excellent, transparent (that's a compliment, BTW!) newsreader. Her deliveries are as professional and accessible as any current anchor-person. I looked to see whether Ms Stuart had indicated that she was choosing to 'retire' - and see she had not. Was she ever chosen as one of the few non-white presenters because she was 'classically' attractive too? Now that she is 'maturing', is that the last ditch? Male presenters seem to go on (..and on!) well past their mid-fifties, so the age-ist card is also on the table! :-/
I wish Ms Stuart continues until she knows it's time to go!
