That may be so, but I'm sure we're all getting sick of it.

Who usually anchors BBC News 24 on Christmas Day?

I'd have it like this (I'm getting rather good at this rota thingy aren't I??):

Arrow 0900-1300 Peter Sissons
Arrow 1300-1900 Maxine Mawhinney
Arrow 1900-0000 Tim Willcox


I'm surprised it's not:

Arrow 0900-1300 Tim Willcox
Arrow 1300-1900 Tim Willcox
Arrow 1900-0000 Tim Willcox
PM
Prime Minister
And then on Boxing Day I'd have it as:

Arrow Charlie Stayt & Maxine Mawhinney 0900-1100
Arrow Ben Geoghegan & Rachel Schofield 1100-1400
Arrow Jon Sopel & George Alagiah 1400-1800
Arrow Ben Brown & Sian Williams 1800-0000

And then on New Years Eve I'd have it as the same, then on New Years Day I'd have Ben Geoghegan on all day, since my wife thinks he is sweet.

You think Sissons would agree to be dragged in on Christmas Day? You must be bonkers.

Can we try to keep discussion to actual rotas at the very least, please? Speculative rotas serve no purpose and end up confusing people.

You have a wife! Laughing sorry just a joke!

Based on News 24 nowadays, I think it'll be...
Arrow Bill Turnball - breakfast
Arrow Tim Wilcox - 10:00 - 23:00

bloody workaholic does he not have a life or is he so desperate to get a regular slot during the week?

We usually end up on Christmas Day with a funny schedule. Last year was something like Bill Turnbull, Maxine and Al Yates.

Ben Brown really is such a fake isn't he?

Plus he looks like a Bee Gees stunt double.
