Although she is not a journalist it doesn’t seem to have made much difference as she is one of the most popular presenters in the country. And I’m not sure where I supposedly mentioned Susanna. I don’t think it’s about being lucky either, Adrian had already done a lot of diverse radio and TV work pre Daybreak whereas Christine had not. He is not a journalist either. I don’t understand this argument that someone can’t be a versatile presenter because they don’t have a journalism degree.
Just to say, Adrian Chiles absolutely is a journalist - he has a degree in it, his first job was as a sub-editor in newspapers and he presented Working Lunch for over a decade. But I certainly do agree with the general point that you make.
