Why does the Sunday night bulletin use the 'News At Ten' titles? Yes it goes out at Ten O Clock usually but it's only a 15 minute programme listed as BBC Weekend news, not a full news at 10 bulletin.


The BBC announced the Ten O'Clock News as a 6-day a week programme when it launched (with Huw Mon-Thu and Fiona Fri and Sun) - so the Sunday programme was branded with the Ten titles, and continues to be. Fiona used to come in just to do the Sunday Ten ISTR - though think that has gone the way of all things.

I think you're getting a bit confused there, noggin. The Ten launched during the Sissons and Buerk era - Huw and Fiona only took over in 2003. I'm having a mental block as to who used to do the Sunday Ten between 2000 and 2003. I don't remember Buerk doing it. Maybe Sissons? Alagiah? I just can't remember for some reason.

You're right of course!

The Ten was a stealth launch and Sissons and Buerk were the original presenters. Huw and Fiona didn't take over until the re-shuffle that saw Huw and Fiona share the Ten as a single-headed bulletin, and George and Sophie co-present the Six. (Unless I'm mistaken again!)

Also, when the Ten launched Mon-Fri, Panorama moved to 10.15 on Sunday and was trailed in the news. In fact, I think the presenter might have linked directly to it.

I think that was just on the News (24) channel, presenter opts out BBC One and then introduces panorama.

No, this is well before any simulcasting between BBC One and News 24 started happening. The news was only on BBC One (News 24 did its own thing) and Panorama was only on BBC One as well.

That's true - and there wasn't any regional news late on Sunday then either.

Yes, I don't think it was until about 2009/2010 when this started happening - around the same time when they started showing regional news on a Saturday lunchtime.

Talking of weekend regional news - I am sure that I read somewhere that the Saturday lunchtime regional news was going as part of DQF

I'm guessing by the lack of mention on here that the "Hello and good morning from..." only went out on BBC One South East. It was just before Huw Edwards started speaking at the start of the programme. It apparently didn't go out on the BBC News Channel either.
