1984:Moira Stuart
1985-Richard Whitmore
1986-Martyn Lewis (Lunchtime) and Moira Stuart (Evening and Late) Another one where Genome hasn't got it quite right as it was definitely Moira Stuart on at least Early and late although i think in both this and the following year's Christmas Eve, the One O Clock News was done as normal.

1987:Michael Burek (Lunchtime) and Moira Stuart (Evening and Late)
1988:Lisa Davidson (Lunchtime and Evening) and Nicholas Witchell-although Lisa was down on Gnome for all 3, i suspect that to due the aftermath of Lockerbie which happened a few days earlier, the classic case of a senior presenter being called in unplanned happened.
