Bet we see Tim Wilcox appear. Also this is when the London Fire Brigades Union are due to strike - though I would imagine if they continue talking the strike would be postponed.
Saw about this on TV earlier, will it be a matter of what happened before - with World News and the News channel simulcasting one or the other?

HO
Bet we see Tim Wilcox appear.
I think Tim would steer clear to be honest, surely he was at the BBC during the last big strike and yet wasn't seen on screen.

I wonder if Susan Osman will fly back from China for a stint similar to the last strike a few years ago.
No doubt majority if not all staff working will be freelance if the strikes go ahead.

I doubt Susan Osman would return after the way she departed. If I remember correctly Susan Osman and someone from the FastTrack programme on BBC World (is that right?) presented two of the three shifts.
Out of interest, how does such a strike affect those abroad, such as the Washington team or foreign correspondents? Especially about timezones?

Ah yes, wasn't it Akhtar Khan? And I'm sure I remember Stephen Cole presenting too. Funny how none of them are still with the BBC...

Yea, from what I remember, these two and Susan Osman covered the whole day - Akhtar presenting between 01:00 and 09:00, Susan until late afternoon and the Stephen in the evening, including the 6 and the 10.

Yep... Did great things for their careers didn't it... It will be very interesting to see who appears on-screen for a sustaining news service.
