I wish I hasn't missed these passengers defying the basic laws of physics so easily!

BBC News 24 just dropped the Six O'Clock News at 18:24 and went straight into a News conference about the fire at the Royal Marsden Hospital. I pressume they were not expecting this conference otherwise would they have taken the Six O'Clock News?

Maybe they showed the Six O' Clock News knowing the press conference would be at 18:25, so they'd only miss the weather or one of the less-important stories?

Going by the way they dropped it i would say they were not expecting it or not expecting it so soon.

He's done double shifts, or two separate shifts, virtually every day through the festive season, including New Year's Eve / New Year's Day. In fact I don't remember the last time he only did a 'normal' cover shift. Given he's on World most of the time when he can't be seen on News 24, there aren't many on screen faces who come close to this man, in terms of time on the air, and constant solid performances

It's actually very annoying. Whilst he's an okay presenter, I'd like to see a bit of variety. It's not his very own TV channel.

It's really annoying me now how much Tim is on. He's not one of my favourite newsreaders, although I could cope with seeing him a few times a week, but not twice in one day!

EDIT: I think we were having similar thoughts at the same time there Jugalug Laughing

he needs to think about getting a life. Being the company doormat is no way to make a living.

I don't dislkie Tim's presentation but I do tend to agree too much can be a little overpowering.

i agree with the last 3 posts. he's an ok presenter but variety is the spice of life.
