End of an era

Not retiring, just giving up presenting News at Ten, returning to doing 'specials' and similar things.

At least that's the way I read it!

He's being replaced by Daenerys Targaryen, apparently.

I am possibly one of the few posters who had to google that to get the reference, having never watched GoT and not realising that there was a character called Jon Snow in said programme.

I have not seen GoT at all so the reference went about 200 feet over my head!

The only John Snow I have ever heard of is the TV News man!

I've never watched it either, nor read the books, and don't intend to, but I keep coming across references to the leading characters.
