For TV Forumers, this should be interesting to see what happens, albeit annoying for everyone else who wants news.

Do we think Nicolas Witchell will break the strike again this time, if so, perhaps he could do some presenting.

Are any presenters not a member of the NUJ?

Could also be a really boring day if we get loads of re-runs like click and our world etc!

Could be even more awkward than usual for BBC London with them being split site at the moment (Radio at Bush, TV at Millbank)

Earlier on the news channel Olly Foster said he was "off home" and Emma Crosby said "Ok Olly see you tomorrow", prompting an odd look in Julian Worricker's eyes. I wondered what it was at the time, but presumably Emma had forgotten about the possible strike.

Not exactly a good way to start though, given she's only been there a few weeks.

Is it Likely Emma can present - or would she be with a union?

I thought she would go to CNN US in November Confused


I was wondering what would happen if some really,really big domestic breaking news happened tomorrow. Could they stop the strike during the day?

Last time there was a strike, Breakfast came from the then News 24 studio, but at that time Bectu were out as well, so there were fewer engineering and technical staff around.

Do we know whether Breakfast will be in TC7 or N6 tomorrow? I suppose while they should be able to staff TC7 they might stay in N6 if World simulcast too?
