Quite an amusing delay on the six tonight. Did anyone notice that at 6:15pm when we returned to the main London studio after the regional headlines, George didn't quite make it to the big screen in time. We could actually see him get up from the chair at the desk and step down to the screen.
I was surprised at how quickly his transition took. I'd have thought he would have had to carefully take the wire for his microphone and earpiece with him, but obviously those must now be wireless.

Has anyone captured it, because it tickled me?
Both presenters on the Six O'Clock News can be on radio mics and radio talkback.
CyberCD - student radio.... aaaaah! No better way to get into the world of doing it for real (and if you did get David Davis today, very well done - I managed many MP's, ex-cabinet ministers, 2 of the people that brought Thatcher down, and one ex-PM who said "I'm not answering that" to three questions, then walked - but nobody that central to the news. So well done!
A few bits of advice, which you probably don't need anyway..... NEVER measure the quality of the work you do in student radio by the standards of your contemporaries on student radio. Measure yourself against the best of your local ILR's, BBC Local Radio, 5Live, Radio 4 and the World Service. Don't get complacent. Remember (and this is a mistake I made) it's the quality of your journalism rather than your presentation that employers will want. Be a journalist, not a presenter, then you'll go further. (I eventually realised!).
BTW, I'm pretty sure that if I go into any of the major TV newsrooms in this country, I'll find people who were at my student radio station - it is the best way in. Trust me! (And radio is actually the purest form of the art anyway!).
Cheers. We spent a lot of time trying to get hold of him, but we were helped by the fact that David Davis founded the station 35 years ago.
We were just lucky really that he made good on his promise to visit the station at a time when he had 30 journalists in tow. And that there's a conference centre next door where he could do his press conference.
Totally agree - I think I learnt more from student radio then I ever have working in ILR and for the BBC. It was great fun as well, not least the occasions we'd go on air after a few pints!

Ha! I know what you mean; Natasha did the same tonight. Here are a few caps of it.
