Sophie also done a Saturday bulletin in 2012 - 22nd December, last Saturday before Christmas. Not sure of the possible reason behind that one. She only did the late bulletin as Martine Croxall did the early evening.

Presuming Martine did a Saturday?

Yep, Saturday 4th January. She did both the early evening and late.

I know some will disagree, but it'd be good to perhaps see her on BBC One a little more often.

Yes it would. An extra twice on weekends so far this year would have been ideal.

Just thought I'd let you know that I've spoken to Rolling News (with this being his thread) and for the rota fans among you I will be (until I'm back in the office full time at least) posting the count of presenters at the end of every month, and possibly (if I have time) comparing the figures on the previous year.

I will be starting with the July figures for 1,6 and 10 at the end of the month.

In fact - I have decided to start with the figures for June 2020. This is for weekday bulletins only.
