Re: Moira Stuart RIP
The nation has lost it's favourite unusual complexion news reader and all you can do is mock her hair.
This is even more tragic than the news of her untimely demise through an unexpected autocue malfunction.

Re: Moira Stuart RIP
Do you reckon she was a lezza then? Moira was alright, perhaps even a delight at a cocktail party or a candle lit supper. A truly lovely lady who despite genital herpes managed to rise to the top in life and her profession. Well I say top but that big nosed paxo stopped her getting the newsnight gig, twat.
Anyway, I'm and always will be, more of a Fiona Bruce man myself. I prefer her arse and I don't reckon she has a scabby box.

Re: Moira Stuart RIP
And coming so soon after the tragic demise of her sister, Fatima Whitbread. It's more than any family should have to bear.
I used to think she was brilliant in Star Trek.

Moira looks like Carl Weathers after a house fire.

BBC Chiefs were today said to be "deeply shocked and saddened" at the tragic death of Moira Stuart, who was today killed due an unexpected autocue malfunction.
Stuart [58], who was known to be meticulous in her planning, and with "great hair", apparently died of a massive electric shock after misunderstanding a cameraman's request to 'try rebooting'.
Vinny Samways, stalwart news producer and former Grimsby fishmonger described the scene thus:
"We were preparing a pre-recorded piece to camera in studio 7 there, when the autocue simply stopped working; this of course infuriated Moira who had a pressing appointment with her hairdresser."
"One of the lads asked her if she had tried rebooting, which is the normal procedure when electronic equipment goes tits-up, at which point she became incandescent with rage."
"'Re-booting - I'll give it re-fucking-booting', she screamed, and put her foot through the screen."
"Unfortunately the cleaner had temporarily removed the plug so she could plug her hoover in - Moira started shuddering like she was having some sort of seizure, and when we finally worked out what was happening, it was too late."
"She died smelling of burnt pork, but her hair was lovely."
Since 27 August 1981, Stuart has presented every news bulletin devised on BBC television apart from the Ten O'Clock News. She has also appeared on The News Quiz and presented the news on the BBC's Breakfast with Frost programme each Sunday, continuing to present its successor programme Sunday AM with Andrew Marr.
Until a change in the format of BBC Breakfast she presented the first half-hour of the programme, three days a week, followed by short half-hourly round-ups throughout the rest of the three-hour-long show. BBC Breakfast moved to a new studio with a new look on 2 May 2006, and the entire news content is now presented by the two main presenters. Until comparatively recently Stuart retained her slot on BBC's Sunday AM show. She continued to present some weekend television bulletins on BBC One. She also worked on other long-form programmes for other BBC channels, including BBC Four.
On 27 March 2007, BBC News announced that Stuart would no longer be presenting the bulletins for Sunday AM. This meant she no longer had a regular slot on broadcast TV. The BBC declined to comment on why she was no longer being used, although rumours circulated within the BBC and commercial newsrooms that Stuart was taken from all future bulletins because she was considered now "too old", at 57, although Anna Ford continued anchoring the BBC One O'Clock News until her retirement at 62.
Her 34 year career with BBC News was brought to a close on 3 October 2007 when the BBC announced her departure.
Helen Boaden, Director of BBC News, recently said "Throughout her 30 plus years at the BBC, Moira has achieved a great deal.She has always been a model professional as well as being much loved and admired by both the public and her BBC colleagues. Everyone in BBC News wishes her all the best for the future."
Stuart leaves behind no immediate family apart from her mother (b.1921) who lives in Canada.
Floral tributes have started to pour in for the woman who celebrity stylist Nicky Clarke once described as "The perfect lady, wiith ace hair".

Poor Moira. RIP.
