No Newsnight tonight, which is not the Bank Holiday, but there is a Newsnight on Monday which is?

No....today is the bank holiday. It's normally the first Monday in May but because of VE Day 75 has been moved to today.

No Hwu just seemed to confirm on The One Show he is on the ten


Hwu definitely isn’t. Huw might be but I’ve watched again and can’t see where he said this.


Right at the beginning of the show. He said "no desk, no suit, no tie - that'll have to come on later on for 10" therefore I took it that it was 98% likely that he would be presenting the Ten tonight. I had my slight doubt as presenters of Six have been presenting Ten. Fiona did the Six today but, given that she was also then said to be appearing (and indeed did appear) on the One Show, I thought it less likely it would be her and, due to what Huw said, that it would be him - I don't know what my 2% doubt was about or, in hindsight, why I had it.

It was actually announced June last year that they were going to move the Bank Holiday:

(and later were going to do lots of other stuff as well to mark VE Day, most of which ultimately went out the window).

Yes, as if the days aren't confusing enough at the moment they moved Bank Holiday Monday to a Friday.

Which turned out to be for naught in the end, since all the planned events had to be axed.

He did, said something like back in a suit for ten.

I can confirm that he did do the 10 o'clock news today (Friday).

Wow, Nik Gowing certainly looked uncomfortable with that.

I know - and then 11 months later I forgot they had made the announcement! That's why I got confused when 4th May wasn't a Bank Holiday - they pushed it back rather than bringing it forward from 11th. I thought it was odd for the second Monday in May to be a Bank Holiday. In the end, for me, it didn't make much difference as I'm currently at home regardless of what day of the week it is! Even the Government Minister on the Coronavirus update yesterday seemed to be referring forward to Monday when he warned not to go out on a sunny Bank Holiday but was giving us the warning at already 5pm on the Bank Holiday itself. A bank account transfer I did yesterday between two of my accounts went through and arrived almost immediately so didn't flag up anything odd for me there - I thought was a bit strange very late on though when a payment didn't get deducted and has changed to 11th.

Nik Gowing was the last of the vintage World presenting team, I think it’s only Mike Embley left from that era.
