I really like Mark Kermode and I think he should get the Film 2010(?) slot that Wossy vacated - unless, of course, he doesn't want it. I always watch his little things from R5 with Simon Mayo on the BBCiplayer, and he is a very, very engaging fellow. Also, he's not afraid to big-up movies that have been ignored by his peers - i.e. the Exorcist, which has been woefully underrated by pundits apprasing the US auteurs of the 70s.

I'm not being crawly-bumlick, but this has given me heart, Mark can seem a bit stiff and aggressive at times (probably in innate shyness, who knows?), so thanks for that.

I used to work for a magazine that Mark wrote regularly for, and he was, without a doubt, our favourite freelancer. Always friendly, helpful, good fun and never ever late.

He's a lovely man.

All of the above is true.

the most qualified for the Film 2010 and indeed 2000 ad infinitum slot.

i've heard that it's jason soloman's but apparently the money is on mark kermode

i'd like them to change the format and do a review show like they do in the u.s. as the film 21?? format is dated and they rarely give a bad review to a film they are doing interviews to

He's everywhere and in danger of being overexposed. I listened to him and Mayo this afternoon and really its the same old schtick.

Be good to get someone different in. Leave everything else to Kermode.

Lovely man.
