Fantastic to see Adrian Finighan on News 24. He seems actually to go well with Joanna Gosling too! Adrian should move from WORLD and be a permanent fixture on News 24...brilliant newsreader and up there with likes of Huw Edwards. Better than some News 24 presenters Philip cough Hayton!

ROTFLMHO!

I heard Eamonn Holmes interviewing that ozzie bloke er 'Toadfish' about an hour ago . I just heard eamonn saying' whats he doing on News 24 , they've borrowed our guest '. No idea what's going on there, just looks like another bunch of muppets on the bbc.

Where abouts was 'Sir George the Victorious' in the studio? It looked as though he was in the normal N24 studio and there wasn't a live bug either. Was he situated next to Toadfish but out of shot of the camera?

I think "he" might have been in the summary pod (that way it would prevent everyone looking to the side when "he" was talking and causing confusion.)

If I recall correctly, the intro was something along the lines of: "...and joining us from the newsroom is the fourth lion, Sir George The Victorious".

I wish I'd seen that. It looks fabulous beyond belief.

It was incredibly fabulous - although I had to sit down and check that I wasn't hallucinating by pinching myself repeatedly. That was enjoyable.

It was pretty stunning to watch, oddly enough - I couldn't quite believe what was going on. I was actually just quite pleased to see that N24 was capable of introducing such an unnecessary, but really quite fun, piece to its schedules. It was really quite enjoyable, not least because all those involved took it 'seriously', adding to the sheer absurdity of it all.

You have to change the date and time obviously, and lately it's a bit hit-and-miss. It's not working for that particular half hour at the moment.
