I've seen Suzanne Virdee, Sarah Faulkland & Emma North, on the occasions I've caught it in the West Midlands.


Dan Pallet has done it a few times too.

On the odd times I have seen this 8pm update, it has been Richard Thomas for NE & Cumbria.

Lara [i forget her surname] initially presented it for the first few weeks, but seems to have left it to Richard for now at least.

A bit like the national version.

Who did the national 8pm segment tonight then.


I see Jake Humphrey is in for Ellie on Newsround - so wonder if he'll crop up at 8pm some days.

Normally Victoria Graham does the South West bulletin at 8pm. Always looks kinda strange with the national presenter being seen as further away from the camera, and Victoria always looks like she's almost on top of you. It's a head and shoulders only shot.

That's the way it's designed - otherwise you'd have a jump cut with two similiar sized presenters but suddenly swapping sides.


The jump cut wouldn't look so bad though if the background looked more like a studio than just an image on a black screen, then it would look like they were on oppositie sides of a studio that featured two angled screens. The design is somewhat flawed.

The design would look good if it was any good!

I don't even see why there needs to be a design at all. Can they not just stand in front of a screen in the main news studio for 90 seconds? Quite a strange choice to use Jake Humphrey but at the same time logical as he is the face of Sportsround and the producers probably won't get too attached to him and be happy to see him quit when Ellie is back. I don't think they'll use him for all of Ellies shifts. They'll probably use Lizo (if hes still there) and that other woman whos name I've forgot. (Shoulder length blonde hair)

I think Ellie still did the 8pm news this evening, I wasn't paying close attention but Nicky S certainly suggested that she hadn't completely disappeared the other day.

So they're bringing her in just for a one minute bulletin?

She may be winding down before her maternity leave, or maybe she is still working on Newsround but off screen.

Anne Davies presented the 8pm Summary in the East Midlands last night - first time I've seen her do that.
