Nicholas Owen ain't God.

Presumably he was on because of Strictly Come Dancing? He made a return tonight, in full wooden form.

the red and silver give a nice festive feel to something which otherwise would be just plastic and artificial...

oh look, and there's a christmas tree behind him.


Laughing Good one! But yes the tree is a lot better this year. I remember either last year or the year before (although I think it was Christmas 2004) when they had two very small trees - essentially one beside each of the main screens. It looked a very feeble effort but this one is much better. Does anybody remember the mock-ups people did last year of the various studios with 'excessive' decorations Very Happy ? I've tried looking for it in the archive but I've had no luck. Perhaps someone still has the pictures?

Has anyone else's TV had issues when News 24 has played out reports from Australia about the cricket. I have seen it a few times today and whenever it has been played out my TV has switched to 4:3 and then returned to Widescreen afterwards

He also did the 19.00 - 00.00 on Saturday night and must have stayed at TVC for the best part of 2 days, doing the 09.00 - 13.00 and 19.00 - 00.00 on Sunday / Christmas Eve.

Hope he has a good day off today - Merry Christmas to him and everyone else.
