Then you may want to read this!

They’ve been trying to nudge the teatime bully out the schedule for years. @bbcnews is, of course, available on the hour every hour on Christmas Day - should you wish to pop over one TOTH. The hard working team in on the day would love you. As would @samtaylornews

And nobody was dancing around the tree! This is a Christmas tragedy.

Newswatch will be awash with complaints over the scrapping from the early evening bulletin. It’s one of the highest rated bulletins of the year and a staple part of Christmas Day. Not everyone wants to switch to the news channel for 30 mins of news not interrupt whatever they are watching to do so.

A ridiculous move.

Very happy Carrie got that gig. She didn’t stumble her way through the bulletin at all. Made one mistake, and certainly switched out her ‘go to’ black attire of late for some Christmas red.

Preferred it last year when McCoy done it wearing a bow tie.

Rather than ‘getting the gig’, is it not just normal for the duty news channel presenter to do the lunchtime news across Christmas week?

Jane Hill is doing the 4pm shift on the NC. I believe this is her first ‘normal’ News channel shift in about 2 years (ie not including the Five).

Then I’m very happy it was Carrie on duty and not any other presenter. Perfectly normal.

Feel all nostalgic really. When I first got interested in News presentation she was the weekend late presenter with Chris Lowe!
