Telly Addicted

I suggested on various platforms last week that Telly Addicts should be bought back, but wondered who might be the new host? Back in the day Noel was cuddly enough for the show, and I’m not sure he’s the best fit for it now. And the show does need a cosy presenter not a slick or cynical one. It saddened me a little bit that I couldn’t think of someone.

The most suggested person from replies was … Alan Partridge. I think I might enjoy Partridge hosting a family quiz show, but he wouldn’t be right for Telly Addicts

Anyway … Who would you choose to host it now?
