Am I the only one who thinks that studio is 100 times better than the one they actually use for BBC1 news?

Actually after seeing the pictures there, I think so too. However a tiny bit more work on the News 24 studio, it would be perfect for the national news, but like that would ever happen!

No, that bulletin was shown on N24.


So is the gallery I see behind Darren in photo one monitoring the world feed, which is showing the weather?

Has anyone else experienced problems on N24 just now.

My screen went black and no sound from 3.33pm to 3.39pm.

It bombed out during a report on New Year celebrations and returned mid way through FASTTRACK

The closing shot for the News looks good.

Or it could be a feed of the weather studio?

So when the national bulletins went out from the N24 studio, did they show trailers either side of it? Was another presenter on duty or were they just showing Reviews of the Year? I know Tim Willcox and Gwenan Edwards were on the usual evening shift, but not sure at what time they finished.

Tonight Tim has been on since 5, and looks to be on until 12 again - plenty of hours for both him and Gwenan Edwards over this last week, they've been on every evening since midweek. Alistair Yates was on as usual this afternoon, presumably nursing his hangover from the late World shift he did last night! Who did Tim's usual Sunday morning slot, or did he do that as well?

They did before the 2nd one on Network, but not the 1st.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Peter Sissons should undoubtedly move back to the National News. He has done the BBC News bulletins today and he is far better. He seems puzzled and confused when he presents on N24!

Well, he even continued after that. He is now presenting the 1900-0100 shift on World.

They use that screen to monitor BBC World the channel sometimes.

Indeed, I've been saying the same thing for a couple of years. He's always been far better on standalone bulletins than rolling news. He really isn't very good on N24 but he is excellent on BBC1. Different styles suit different people and Peter Sissons obviously prefers fixed bulletins. I really don't understand why he was moved to N24, as it has clearly been a mistake. Why can't them permanently move him back to BBC1?
