Right, I'm gonna rescind my comment last week about Sarah Clarke improving her presenting style on UTV Live.
While I will concede her voiceover skills have got slightly better and she seems to have cut down on her smirking on camera, she still appears to stumble on the Autocue when presenting the news on a regular basis; her introduction of subjects and questioning in her interviews come across as too slow and too wooden, and there's something about the way she says "Good evening" at the end of Live at Six bulletins which just grates on me.
Also, well done to BBC Newsline and UTV for their coverage of the recent cold spell in the Province and its impact on the local community. Best of all for me is seeing another former college mate - Eunan McConville - now reporting for BBC NI.
