Newsreader & Reporter thread

As well as a few more of the male newsreaders incase of the regulars becoming ill:

Phillip Hayton
Simon McCoy
Bill Turnbull (I dont think ive ever seen him do a single headed bulletin apart from Christmas Day)
Chris Eakin (I think he would be good on BBC One and its not as if he's new to it because of the simulcast after greg dykes resignation)
Dermot Murnaghan (Done a few already but could do more)
Peter Sissons
Matthew Amroliwala
Chris Lowe (Used to Network News)

One woman that has been missed out:

Moira Stuart (despite being "the last of the continuity Newsreaders" she can still keep the crowds coming in so to speak)

Any Other Possible Replacements?

BBC World broadcast Error

Or a costly, one sided inquiry blaming the BBC for everything

Im not sure if this has been posted anywhere else but Simon McCoy presented Weekend 24 today with Jules. I only saw 15 minutes but he looks like he will be a good asset to Breakfast/Weekend 24

Bob Monkhouse dies

Truely Sad News on the passing of Bob Monkhouse. One of Britains best comedic talents has gone, BBC or ITV should show a tribute programme or a Bob Monkhouse Night. Such talent, and comedic genius should be rewarded and not forgotten.

If i remember correctly last Christmas eve when Anna Ford presented the three bulletins the only one she wished us Merry Xmas on was the late bulletin, even with a christmas tree on the screen. So maybe George will do the same later this evening when he finishes the bulletin, if not then i dont know.

Bill Turnbull on the SIX

I feel sorry for those foreign correspondents who work in countries that do not celebrate Christmas or in a different climate. As well as those who will be producing reports for the channels all day. Isnt it just a regular day for BBC World because of their worldwide grasp and not being allowed to show biased to a religous holiday.

Has Huw mentioned anything yet about the change of scenery?

BBC World should Simulcast with News 24 more often

And thinking more long term........will there be implications for tomorrow mornings programmes..........e.g. Breakfast, and European Breakfast on BBC World.......could we have another possible simulcast

BBC News thread

Im wondering if David Frost will be presenting tomorrows Breakfast With Frost due to the fact his wife is in hospital due to an accidental overdose. Will Sissons be back........we will just have to wait and see.

Poppys on the News

I was wondering what the BBC's stance on Poppys was this year. I was watching World News on News 24 this morning, and Lyse Doucet was wearing a poppy, would she have to remove this when she presents the world bulletins again or have World presenters/guests been allowed to wear them this year.

Well remember it isnt the first time a presenter has presented breakfast then gone on to present the Six O Clock News, Sian has done it before

Even Michael Buerk did breakfast one day during the summer and went on to do the Ten the same day.

Similarly, I feel sorry for Mark Simpson (Ireland correspondent) because he has been on Breakfast since 6, and he is still on doing the Six and I bet he will still be on during the Ten. I know journalists have unsocial hours but working over fifteen hours a day is a little strenuous.

According to the radio times, Stephen Cole and Sian Williams are presenting BBC Breakfast on Sunday, and on Wednesday or Thursday of next week Jon Sopel is presenting the 6 O Clock News with Sophie or Sian (sorry I avent got the copy with me as i type.

BBC News thread

Do you mean the part at the beginning where she starts in a high voice when she says "and now a reminder of the main news" and then all of a sudden immediately goes deep when she starts the headlines
