Brits 2008 announce plans to be "almost unwatchable"

So, the last couple of years Brit Awards have seen experienced presenters Chris Evans and Russell Brand struggling to make something entertaining out of a hotch-potch of coldcuts.

Given that it's a tough show for even sharp-witted types used to live television to marshal, it's doubly surprising that the organisers have plumped for Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne to present in 2008.

No, they really have. Since Ozzy normally behaves like he's on a ten-second delay, the wisdom of having him co-present a live TV show is debatable; presumably the bulk of the work is going to fall onto the shoulders of the unlovely Sharon. She, at least, has done some live TV work, although clearly nothing that had been seen by the people who've invited her to host this time round.
