Well that top of the hour won't go down in the hall of fame. Poor Tim was faded out at one point...

Did anyone manage to capture the breakdown slide and would mind uploading it please? I have never seen the N24 breakdown slide before.
Out of interest, what was the breaking story that meant an opt out of the Ten?

You really are joking aren't you!!!?

Yes I am - obviously the case of bird flu. I wonder why N24 even did the Ten before opting out, they should have just continued IMO.

Are all the reserves in again today? If so i hope they're better one than yesterday's... i don't think much of Jo Coburn and Janet Barrie.

Reeta Chakrabarti is on with Matthew. Jane Hill is reporting live from Cellardyke, Fife, and Chris Eakin is at Stormont.

EDIT: Oh, and Liz Pike was on with Simon this morning.

Bloody Hell! Jane on location - never remember that before. What will happen to her hair?

Its getting a fair blowing around! Think she's been on location a few times before - I specifically remember on 7th July last year she presented from Kings Cross.

Yes, when she reported from New Orleans last year, her hair was thrown about a fair bit.

Personally i think the presenters should stick to the studio and let the reporters do the reporting - unless something really big happens. IUt annoys me having to see all these dodgy relief presenters. Although saying that some are very good - Julian Worricker, Tim Willcox and Rachel Schofield.

It was basically the old two way graphic, used on World still if memory serves and centre aligned, arial font apology.

News 24 simulcasting the Six - already!

EDIT - 18:13 - back to Tim & Rachel in N8
