Just been on to Yahoo News, and looks like Alison Hammond is taking over. I'm not a fan of hers, but will see what she's like in it.

There can't be much around that Alison isn't in

While I will miss Paul I’d rather Battersea get the publicity even if it is with Alison.

I read on digispy that she once said she didn’t like dogs!!! So an odd choice if so, a bit like picking vegan Lee Mack for the fishing show.

New series starts on Tuesday (16th) at 8 pm. On her first visit to Batterea Dogs and Cats Home Alison feeds a puppy that was abandoned in a bin.

I was pleasantly surprised. While nobody can replace Paul as presenter, I thought she made a good effort. Seems to have toned down her personality as well. She might have to lose the fingernails, far too long for stroking a dog. also slight change in format, with her talking to the staff, whilst petting the dog.

That was my first thought, the fake nails would need to go, pups will chew them. You can see the staff are a bit wary but she has a difficult job to do as now one can replace Paul.

I think she'll be all right. I mean, Paul did it for years so anyone new will need a settling in period.
TBH, I thought Ali didn't look very well.

Ali will be grieving and she’s not getting any younger herself

True. They filmed it last summer and he died in the March so it was only a few months. Must have been hard for her.
