Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

It may not surprise you to know that this famous Radio 4 presenter is a skier:

James Naughtie

He presented a recording of Book Club this evening and had a chat with us afterwards. The Sliding Scotsman was explaining a slight limp: "I've just got back from a weekend's skiing, and really felt it!"

Apparently it's an annual getaway for about ten Today Programme people, and this year they were in Avoriaz. "The snow was pretty heavy low down" he complained.

The Book Club edition was an interesting one - a question-and-answer session with journalist Asne Seierstad, author of 'The Bookseller of Kabul', the controversial portrait of a family's life in modern-day Afghanistan [probably won't be broadcast until August].

I daresay Asne Seierstad is a skier too - she's Norwegian!

Thank you. I'll answer those points in turn:

stewart woodward,
James Naughtie is one of the great broadcast journalists of our time. You can listen to the Today Programme (3 hours of agenda-leading news coverage each morning) anytime on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/listenagain

Masque, you cannot be serious. Me or Naughtie? Or both of us?
Swiller, yes, imagine going through school with a name like Swiller

boredsurfin, good question! No, unfortunately, but we were on The Aldwych (Bush House) ... a kind of double-black-diamond version of Mornington Crescent

Anyone got any skiing questions for James Naughtie? [I'm not going to ask them]

If that's true, and I fear that it may be, it doesn't say much for the state of broadcast journalism today, does it? He's not what you'd call an incisive critical mind. Bring back Charles Wheeler, I say.

Ahh, that one I do know the answer to - it's the cricket station Very Happy

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Sure, James Naughtie isn't Jonathan Ross (heard of him, and his salary of millions?) or Fiona Bruce (seen her on Crimewatch? Too late now). The fact that he's not on the box much (I think he still presents the Proms at the Albert Hall) doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

I'm not James Naughtie's PR, but he's an astonishingly knowledgeable and ethical journalist/interviewer ... and a bit of a ski enthusiast!

I still feel compelled to say 'Knockty Boy!' every time he comes on the radio.

As for Charles Wheeler -very big hair for an old one.

He obviously doesn't wear a helmet. wink

He's not a bad presenter, but IMV he has the BBC world view stamped through him like a stick of rock, whilst no doubt believing himself to be completely unbiased. The Today programme co-hosted by Naughtie and Clarkson would be compelling. Shocked

Yes, it would compel me to go to the pub. Two people far too fond of the sound of their own voices, a disadvantage in an interviewer, and so far up their own bums that an extra long boom mike is required to hear them at all.

Good old Margaret Hodge!!!! Dontcha just love her ? All those dreary young conservatives a-singin and a-flag wavin and making fools of themselves and the country.

Just who does Margaret Hodge think she is!!! Attacking one of our great institutions, the envy of the world. Nothing can beat the great sing song of the Last Night of The Proms Since when do we need lessons in Britishness from an Egyptian Jew ? Bodge off !!!! You are a complete loser!!!!!

Latchigo, a suitable punishment would be to make Margaret Hodge go to the LNoftP. It would serve all present right.

Margaret Hodge needs a career change. In fact she needed a career change about 15 years ago, after that childcare scandal in Islington she never dealt with properly (instead she furiously attacked a journalist who was quite legitimately investigating it).
