Dancing on ice
I think Christine's doing a very good job considering she had massive shoes to fill.

Just a thought... keep bandying names around and you're sure to predict the right one eventually.
An Emma Crosby come back do we reckon? She was a journalist after all. Daybreak/ITV management may possibly regret getting rid of her last year now. I know she was criticised for her style, but her journalist background did come across well sometimes.
Daybreak - the launch onwards
Just a thought, does anyone think Nina Hossain could be a shout to replace Christine on the sofa?
I would prefer Helen but I think Nina would be quite good.

That would be a fantastic BBC Breakfast backdrop going from night to sunrise etc!
BBC Newsnight
Interesting look at what the revamped Newsnight set was going to look like, before a late redesign last year.

I think it looks really well but I can see why they opted for the current backdrop design.

Possibly more breaks perhaps a longer summer break next year to bring back gino and mel.
You say that and it could be true. On the Clappers website that sells tickets for the audience of Loose Women, apparently this series will end on July 5, a good 4 weeks earlier than normal.

Loose Women
Just looking at that new logo and taking into account other such things......................one wonders if the imminent season of Loose Women will, indeed, be the last one?

There was definitely one in the air at the bottom of the hour (just before BBC WN went to WBR), and I believe I saw some live images after WBR at :45 as well.
Oh right, my apologies.

I haven't seen the BBC one in use for at least 45 mins. Maybe I missed it sorry, I thought that the BBCs had gone too.

Yes, but why would they allow the BBC's helicoper (which was up in the air not long ago), but not Sky News'? The only fair way to limit the number of helicopers in the air would be to insist on a pool helicoper that would provide images to all the broadcasters.

With two police helicopters in the area and two or three news helicopter, could it be that the police have requested less use of helicopters? Surely it is quite dangerous and hinders the police helicopters use of air space having so many news crews flying overhead too?

Maybe they only have one crew, who are too tired to make another flight. It's the only reason I can think to explain them not sending it up again.

They are? I'm seeing plenty of chopper footage labeled "latest" (from half an hour to an hour ago), but nothing live.
According to Maxine on the BBC NC, the BBCs helicopter is alternating between Croydon and Peckham apparently, so coverage is live in between locations.

Apart from in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. So, yes, hardly ever. Infact, only in the Ferrari / Schumacher years of domination in the early 2000s has the season been decided before the last couple of races.
Plus Brazil has started to become the pick as the final race of the season- its in prime time in Europe and is usually an exciting race at a great track so a very good pick.
Your sarcasm goes right over my head. In the last 61 years, the Drivers Championship has gone down to the wire a total of 25 times. Out of 61 seasons. As I said, more often than not. Yes, admittedly the sport has changed in the last 15 years, which may lend itself to closer championship races, but I was merely making a point.
Anyway, an interesting chat with John Watson here on Sky Sports News, where he suggests that Sky will run the entire races ad-free, from lights to chequered flag.

Sky have confirmed on their message board that the races will air with no adverts.

And the last race of the season isn't necessarily a great pick - the Drivers Championship is more often than not decided before the last race.
