there was a mention on central news east yes but only very brief at the end (i think steve gave her some flowers or somthing) Just noticed she's on EMT now, so Dom is back with his old partner! Didn't kevin leave soon after moving to birmingham?

That was weird when I flicked over and saw Marie and Dominic together again!

What's happened to Anne then? Has she left as Marie is also going to be presenting Inside Out

Good to see them back together. Had forgotten just how much chemistry there is between the pair. No doubt happy to be presenting together again.

And interestingly Anne Davies last night said "I'm not here tomorrow...but a very special friend mine of is".

I've never rated Dominic as a presenter but he seemed much more relaxed presenting with Marie. Central may have made savings by moving presentation of Central News to Birmingham but surely loosing their main anchor in the process will not help ratings.

Wonder how MDR is taking Marie's defection?

Great EMT tonight: featuring a woman who has had her ironing board for 45 years. They made a joke about their 'swish newsdesk' looking like an ironing board. Dom even posed 'for those of you who do screen grabs for strange internet sites.'

Also great badanage at the end of the programme after the newspaper review that included an award-winning cabbage.

Anne: 'I've never seen such a large cabbage'
Dom: 'Well stick around!'
Anne: (laughing) I will!

Priceless!
