Just saw the shot when Ben Brown said thats all, from the shot i saw it looks quite good.

So is there maintenance work going on in the World Newsroom or is News 24 coming from the World set this weekend?

I wonder why the archives exist?

They're part of the blinkx tv search engine


Thanks for the information tillyoshea now me and others know Smile

It seems that the videos aren't updated anymore. For a week or so no new videos have been added. And the search engine on the blinkx website now takes its videos from the BBC NEWS website.

Well, it's interesting. How could the breakfiller get onto one of the tvs in the background?

The answer is easy: The screen in the background was showing a different region of the world. Ad-breaks are at different times in different parts of the world. So this screen was simply showing a different opt.

Interesting to see Lindsey Brancher on world in the Weekend. Just noticed her now. What a shame they couldnt close the live coverage just them with a proper closing!


Yeah, I was surprised to see Lindsey. She was on earlier in the week, if my memory serves me correctly. The last time I saw her was around September 2004, when she was covering the Egyptian bombings. She's a great presenter, and is the longest serving presenter at BBC World - she's been there since 1991.


Lindsey definitly presented after September 2004. She was on a lot during the Asian Tsunami coverage. Also I remember that she did a very long shift around Christmas. IIRC she presented from 0800 GMT to 1600 GMT or even longer

Does anybody know what has happened to Maxine Mawhinney lately? I dont think ive seen her on News 24 since the general election.


She presented Monday to Wednesday from 1300-1600 this week. This is her usual shift. She'd been away for some weeks but IIRC she already returned last week.

Natasha Kaplinsky to the Six

Maybe a hint what might be to come:
Three presenters have been added to the "Presenter" section on the Breakfast website:

Arrow Kate Silverton. This means that she's going to become a regular face now on Breakfast
Arrow Susanna Reid has been added though she's on maternity leave at the moment
Arrow Simon McCoy has been re-added. He'd been on the site before but was removed last year

Sian should get the top slot on Breakfast I should imagine, and they'll bring in Kate Silverton for the weekends with Bill.

Sophie pregnant again, eh? She's going to have her hands full Very Happy

Just read in the Breakfast thread that Mishal Husain will be down to present Breakfast together with Dermot from Monday to Thursday next week. Maybe she will be Natasha's replacement?

Natasha Kaplinsky to the Six

I think that Natasha is a good choice. When she presents the weekend news she's much better than on Breakfast. And obviously she doesn't like getting up early in the morning as she always seems very tired on Breakfast.
I hope though that Sian will take over from Natasha on Breakfast.

Looks like the tickers changed again. It now appears to be a lighter grey used and the "Sport" has been replaced with the BBC Sport logo. Looks like it used to with the orange one.

We've now got a light blue instead of grey and it appears a textured european flag for Rebate story. Looks quite good IMO.

God, that baby-blue looks awful. And the BBC SPORT logo doesn't fit in there either. Not an improvement IMO.

BBC World

Where do the French get those files from? The qualitiy of the BBC WORLD countdown is excellent. I'm quite sure that it isn't a capture but directly from the BBC. On this site I also found the BBC WORLD breakfiller music in good quality.

I can't believe we are asking in the Requests forum for ages to get those files just to find out, that it's quite easy to get them - from a French site.
