Did Maxine present on a week day?

According to Genome she covered for a whole week from Mon 7th-Fri 11th Nov 2005.

I'm only including weekdays, no weekend or bank holiday bulletins.

More surprised Michael Buerk returned for one episode in 2004.

Unsurprisingly that appears to be a mistake from the radio times (which is the source of genome)...

Both Michael and Peter Sissons officially left the Ten week ending 17th January 2003, but returned sporadically throughout 2003 and 2004 when Huw and Fiona were both absent. Michael's last episode was Friday 9th January 2004 and Peter's last was Thursday 28th October 2004.

Neil Miles recently uploaded a video with a trail for Huw Edwards starting on the Ten O'Clock News

There was a similar advert for the Six and perhaps Breakfast too.
