During the regional opt out for the headlines does anyone know who's voice it was on the NC talking about the upcoming interview at 7?


Wasn't it Louise Minchin?

Nope, I think it was that Woman who went into the conference for the BBC.

Chris Eakin did a similar announcement at 10.

Forgive me if this has come up before, but why don't they use the (viewer's) right side of the studio for reports anymore? It always used to be the Sports reporters side and one of the main presenters would often stand there at the top of the hour, and occasionally interview features were also done there. I realise this has been the case for some time but it only just occurred to me.

Sorry, do you mean in N8 or N6?

Who is the woman doing the business headlines on the NC today? Boy is she annoying! Watching the News At Five and she kept bobbing up and down and smiling - looking at Huw and back - not too good, apparently she's called Sam.

Either, I think. Did they change to a smaller studio but keep the same set?

That would be Samantha Washington - perhaps getting the gig as a 'thank you' for breaking the picket lines a few weeks ago.

(this should probably be in Presenters & Rotas Wink )

N8 is the studio BBC World are in now with the newsroom behind it. N6 is the box with video walls

I **LOVED** Terry Wogans comments on the BBC News at Six today.

When Fiona Bruce asked him about comic relief he said... 'If you stood up to read the news, we'd get to see your wonderful legs and high heels'. LOL.

I think BBC News is seriously due a refresh. Not a complete revamp, just a few tweaks here and there to the background, the aston style and maybe the ticker.

Anyone agree?

I'd rather they went back to the pre 2008 graphics, looked much better. Getting rid of Gill Sans, and back to the previous font.
