- Heather and Dunc’s carefully scripted banter takes up half the time – the rest is 3 very short once over lightly “stories” of dubious worth and that’s our lot – Duncan said about one story “who makes me say all this stuff” – so really they have no editorial control, they are mere presenters. This is what Julie Christie wanted – John Campbell from what I understand, had editorial control over Campbell Live and that’s why he had to go – If he felt a story warranted it, he would stay with it for the full half hour, not these pathetic little soundbites of a few minutes duration to be followed with inane fake banter – message to Dunc and Heather – we are NOT interested in what you like to gossip about – do that on your own time! As a reporter Heather was pretty good I thought, but now , boy is she really getting on my wick!! Seven Sharp is slightly worse because of the Hateful little Hosking gnome, but unfortunately, only slightly!
Campbell Live's sorry replacement cannot survive.
Sorry, TV3, Monday 24 August 2015
DUNCAN GARNER: I don’t CARE. I really don’t.
HEATHER DU PLESSIS-ALLAN: [suddenly uneasy, isolated] Heh, heh….
