Channel Five's news producers....are their eyes all right?

Full marks, a "Way to go, girl" and trebles all round for Selina Scott. She's won a pay out believed to be in the region of £250,000 after claiming that Channel Five discriminated against her on the grounds of age.

It's ridiculous isn't? Scott was lined as pregnancy cover for Natasha Kaplinsky but allegedly dropped in favour of younger presenters. The ridiculous thing is that John Suchet, aged 62 (5 years Scott's senior), was used by Channel Five News as maternity cover for Kirsty Young in 2006.

I ask you? Who would you rather look at reading the news? John Suchet or Selina Scott?

I rest my case.
