A bunch of idiots shouting over Matthew Amroliwala outside the Royal Courts of Justice - he's ploughing on though!

Terrible crash in the News Channel studio this morning:

And check out Timbo chilling and in those jeans! Smile

Shocked

Seeing Tim with his feet up on the desk makes me wander - do all the newsreaders take such a relaxed attitude to being in the studio? Simon McCoy was caught 'napping' a couple of months ago so he clearly is relaxed as well!

Surely there are kinder ways to reduce Tim's shifts on the News channel, than to drop a huge rock on his head! Wink

You do realise he was acting for that to be recorded? He didn't actually have his legs up on the desk in between reports (although by all accounts Paxman used to on Newsnight years ago).

A TV Forum cameo features in Part 1 of that video, presumably due to Media Boy's involvement.

Yes, I did get that it was staged. However, my question still stands. Smile

I had no idea that's what Sasha Twining did before!

Are those two readers on the News 24 set real presenters, or behind the scenes staff? They're rather good.

She was also a newsreader for CN.FM 103 in Cambridge back in the early 90s. Wink

Behind the scenes staff. Sarah Gentry (the female presenter on that clip) is a BBC1/2 continuity announcer. The guy, Barry Thomas, I believe is a former BBC producer, because there's a series of videos by Media Boy on Youtube which announce his departure from the BBC!
