Dermot and Natasha are on the Six tonight (Dermot just said on the 15.20). Bill did Breakfast this morning but isn't on tomorrow, so I assume Dermot will be on with Sian.

Since when is Ariel Sharon a moderate? This is what much of the reporting seemed to be saying, but its like saying thatcher is a moderate because she's slightly to the left of the BNP. He is still a right winger, just slightly more pragmatic than his colleagues. Perhaps this is a case of media wishful thinking, desperately wanting to be positive about the middle east for a change.

Maybe he was ill, had a personal commitment or wasn't contracted to work yesterday.

Isn't she always in N6 for The Politics Show or is it just a CSO screen of the newsroom when she is on the politics show?
