Rob McElwee? Good grief... I know some people here don't like his style,
which is fair enough, but my (very non-scientific, very anecdotal)
evidence is that he's highly popular with (that dread term) "ordinary
viewers". Unless, as speculated elsewhere in this thread, he actually
wanted to move away from on-camera role, this seems like a completely
bonkers decision. To put it mildly,

I think the BBC may have shot themselves in the foot, too. I'd be amazed
if there wasn't some sort of "Don't Dump Rob!" campaign gearing up
already, and if so then I'm sure other media outlets would be delighted
to give it space. I doubt we've heard the last of this...
