Why not just let Sissons do the main bulletin. He's a familiar (and popular) newsreader with most of the BBC1 viewers and it would make simulcasts much neater, just like the Maxine Mawhinney simulcasts on a Saturday lunchtime...

Much neater junction to the BBC1 news there - a countdown digitally zoomed in to remove the countdown numbers, with the ticker and DOG still up, into the 17:35 news with Mishal. Still caught a reflection of Peter's head in the left hand pod at the start of the bulletin, but apart from that, not too bad. I can understand why they've gone down the countdown route, but it still appears strange.
