I thought Phil and Kirsty's skills as live 'presenters' were non-existent. Actually, it was pretty cringeworthy.
As for the chart itself, well, I guess it's hard to be objective when it comes to matters of 'best' and 'worst' because it's all down to personal preference. I personally love urban areas but these are mostly seen as undesirable.
Middlesbrough isn't all that bad...I've been there a few times and while the town itself is a bit run down, the people are some of the friendliest I've met in the UK.
