For many years (well, at least two), there was only one piece of eye candy for fans of regional news in London. We've watched Keir Simmons endure tube strikes, tube crashes and tube extensions, and worshipped his unflappably straight manner. However, he has been surpassed in the local news hottie league by former Radio 1 entertainment hound Matt Barbet. The main attraction to the wide-eyed, spiky-blonde journo is the fact that he looks like he's being operated by a Jim Henson animatronic expert. After every report, there's a wide grin or the arching of his forest-like eyebrows. Thus, we've decided to hand Matt the much fought-after title of "The Bear in the Big Blue House of BBC Local News". We salute him.
