Why is George always doing the special report?, they use to take it in turns, Sophie one night George the next.. When Sophie was on the other week with Dermot, she did the special reports.
Maybe Sophie is going to the One 0 Clock news when she returns from Maternity leave

Nice to see Sophie Raworth presenting the One O'Clock News today. I think she's a lot better suited to the One than the Six. She works a lot better as a solo anchor. George Alagiah seems to dominate on the Six.

Chris Eubank is in court, accused of illegally driving an HGV that wasn't his. Anna Ford cut to an OB outside the courthouse, and about 15 secs in a bloke came on dressed in a white shelly waving his hand behind and in front of Hall. He then started speaking (as above) before Rob looked right and then Anna cut back to the studio.

Excellent Katrina coverage on the Six O'Clock News tonight, with Bill Turnbull in Biloxi and some excellent reports from around the region. Alistair Leithead has also been excellent in New Orleans.

Nice to see him back, isn't it? His interview on Five Live today suggests that he'll be seen rather more than he was at ITN too.

Pity about the cockup at the very top
Yeah, it was a shame! These things happen, but the top of the main evening news bulletin isn't really the best time for it.

Looked like Alistair was doing his own camera work as there was a shot with him leaning back as if he was holding the camera in front of him as he did the piece to camera. The quality also looked slightly differently. Part of the move to one-man reporting teams? If so, fine - it was an excellent report and didn't suffer for the lack of cameraman and sound recordist.

I may be wrong, but it looked like that new technology I read about a few years ago whereby a reporter can do the whole package and send it back to TVC via the internet. If it was (I'm sure noggin will be able to confirm/deny, if he's about) then it was pretty impressive.
