Entertainment 24 is to have a new full time presenter - Tasmin Lucia Khan will replace James Dagwell et al. She will also present the new look 60seconds on BBC3 Monday - Thursday. www.tamsin.tv

Anyone know what's going to happen to the old presenters like James? I know they currently do 60seconds, Entertainment 24 and the Interactive loop, will they still have jobs elsewhere..?


I suppose a number of things could happen to James. He could continue on the interactive loop, as it doesn't mention Tasmin doing that, and he could still present things like Your News and fill in on 60 seconds. Alternatively, he could become a correspondent for the main news, like Julia Caesar seems to be now Declan does more hours, or maybe he'll even do some News 24 presenting.


I'm surprised Dagwell hasn't been picked up by Naked News yet, considering how uncomfortable he looks in those silly clothes he wears during Your News . Laughing

Is Jame Dagwell a journalist? This Tasmin is according to her website...

Nice to see Simon McCoy on last saturday and Matthew Amwroliwala on tonight Very Happy also Peter Sissons (still got what's needed for BBC One, just not N24...)

Manish is indeed excellent. I heard a while back that the BBC were thinking of putting Jake Humphrey on Football Focus - maybe Manish could switch to News?

Yea, Jake did present five or six weeks' worth of shows in November/December 2006 IIRC.

Gavin Esler, he presents Newsnight, Dateline London and was one of the original News 24 presenters.

Thanks for that, never seen him before, I don't watch Newsnight very often, must have been those times when he's not on.

Before his move to Newsnight in 2002, he used to present News 24 between 1900-2300 Mon-Thurs with Carrie Gracie.
