Calling Dr Kermode

There is an ongoing campaign to get Mark Kermode to be installed as the host of the BBC Film programme. Ever since Jonathan Ross left the programme and was replaced by the pairing of Claudia Winkleman and Danny Leigh. Audiences complain that there is too extraneous chat that gets in the way of the point of the programme which is to talk about films. This has increased since Zoe Ball took over. Kermode has for a long time declared that he has no interest in taking over. One wonder was to pair him with another for Siskel and Ebert style format would interest him?
