his BBC co-presenters must be so jealous of him being in Skyfall


biggest Bond film ever, the 50th anniversary. and considered one of the best Bond films (certainly in the top 10). and there was Huw in the film!..

another presenter (Sophie Rayworth) got the newsreader role in Die Hard 5 but it was not only the worst Die Hard, it was a terrible movie!

He's made himself a bit typecast though - looks like every single film he's been in he plays the part of a newscaster.

He needs to expand his repertoire somewhat if he's ever to land himself a more meaty role, say something like Kevin Spacey's in American Beauty.

I think his career is over now tbh.

I think he's fine!

Retracted!

Sensationally outed by his wife! (To protect his mental health)

Maybe he can take over at This Morning once he's feeling better? I believe they currently have an opening...

Oh dear πŸ˜”

Oh I guess this bit will now be cut out on broadcast showings.
they could edit another scene with another person maybe.

reply

i think they'll just cut the scene out in future tv showings (and for streaming, future blu ray/dvd) they will most likely retain his voice over in the movie though just not his image

there was a similar thing with Stephen Collins in Star Trek I but obviously nothing could be done as he was one of the leads in the movie. whereas Huw its just a tiny throwaway scene (plus Bond/Skyfall in particular is a much bigger deal more prestigious than a star trek movie from 1979)

his doctor who episode has been taken down they may re-edit the lines.
