BBC News 24

Seem to be back to normal countdowns today, full 60 second version at 1300 today.

Knockabout exchange twixt

Jon Sopel, Sangita Myska, Maryam Moshiri and Olly Foster over the subject of on air identifications.

I'm sure Tim has been living at TVC for the last couple of weeks. Don't know when his last day off was, he was on semi-permenantly over the weekend too, he's been doing some sterling work as usual, and a huge number of shifts - he was on this morning on the 8.30 - 11, as he has been all week so far, and he's back tonight on the 7-10. Doubtless he'll be back in the morning too.

What you mean by 'on air identifications'?

And now thank you Michael,

And over to you Samantha,

John'll take the story further

etc. etc. etc.

Sangita and Maryam took sides against Jon, following a minor fluff,. Olly then butted in and Jon looked all forelorn and feigned being isolated.

More, News Willcox 24, another doubler today, and he's just hinted that he'll be on over the weekend too.

The man is unstoppable, his superhuman heroics in the field of rolling news coverage, quite incredible. I'm sure he hasn't had a single day off for around 3 weeks now. He's been on every day this week on mornings, did Ben's shift on Wed night too, and his usual Fri late night slot. Back on the Sissons' Saturday 1-7 shift, and more than likely he'll be on a 1-7 tomorrow too, as he has done for the last couple of Sundays. Then yet another new week starts...

Tim Willcox: Undisputed heavyweight champion of BBC News

yeah... but he seems a bit amateur like

Probably just a lack of experience.

I hope there was a note of irony in that post...

eh? more like cheap hired hand. The management there now know they can do what they want with him. I feel sorry for him - can't have much of a life outside work.

Obviously...

He read Spanish at Durham University and is a passionate Hispanophile who has travelled widely in Spain and South America. His other great love is music. He was principal trumpet in the British National Youth Orchestra, and also plays the double bass and piano. [Linky]

I bet there are many other people who spend as much time in TVC as he does.
