Fiona has presented News 24 Specials before. Mainly after Panaroma when it was on Sunday evenings. Haven't personally seen her work a shift in N8 though.

Now that she has Crimewatch and Antiques Roadshow, she won't have enough time for news. (sic)

It is not in her contract yet, where as Huw had his rewritten to include the 5 on his last renewal, i believe that there is an eventual plan for her to present, but they are awaiting contract renewal.

interesting, how do you know this?

I cant see why it would have to be in a contract they have fill in presenters all over the place.

Well those presenters are probably freelance.

No countdown after the weather, instead it was the end of the old titles along with the in brief bed. Then Lucy stumbled at the TWT intro and ended up saying BBC World.

But then again if you make presenters too omnipresent, then they seem less important when they do present specials. E.g. Huww Edwards presenting the TB to GB handover. It wouldn't be the same had somebody such as Tim Wilcox presented it.

I don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I read in the papers a few days ago that Simon McCoy is soon to be married to Victoria Graham, spotlight's weather forecast- sorry if i'm repeating old news.
