Just about typical that the day that the early evening news is 20 minutes at the weekend is also the slowest news day in numerous months!!

Well I'm watching World News Today on BBC Four HD. I thought it was taking a direct simulcast from the NC.

But it isn't doing that tonight as it has a direct copy of the NC ticker on it instead of the World Ticker. The BBC News Box came up on the titles at the beginning of the bulletin instead of the BBC World News Box which is usually the norm for news on BBC Four.

The BBC NC itself is showing the standard NC Bulletin with the same ticker as I had a look at the EPG at my TV box and the bulletin.

I think that the BBC may have confused their viewers regarding their Bulletins around this time at 7pm.

Is this going to become normal for the summer.

The newsreader on BBC Four had signed off with "Stay with us for BBC World News" at the end.

The BBC News Box came up again on the closing titles were heard.

On WNT on BBC Four, I've seen a BBC News strap with no rolling ticker and the standard World News ticker.

Something I've not seen before happening on the News Channel right now - flash flooding in the south west and to explain what's going on they've got the local forecaster from BBC Spotlight live from a green screen in Plymouth talking over the standard BBC Weather map explaining what's been happening.

From the area, this is an extraordinary event, the similarities with Boscastle are uncanny, a storm cell arrived and stayed put for hours, The pictures are incredible ...

Many normal folk will probably be saying 'Oh it's him!' from when David used to do the national forecasts around 15 years ago.

That was exactly my reaction - it's David Braine, for those who didn't see it.

Nice to see them using regional people who have very specific local knowledge on a story like this.

David Braine! That's a blast from the past - I remember him presenting the weather from N6 during the beige era Six O'Clock News c.1999/2000.

Are you suggesting those of us in the South West and Channel Islands are not normal, since we see him on telly all the time? :p

I *did* say 'many' and not 'all'. And by normal folk I mean non-TV enthusiasts like ourselves.
