And I even thought of that before looking at the other thread. Very Happy

Yes, it was indeed Tim Workaholicox. I don't know how the man does it!!

Anyway, he did it and what to do. Any particular specific full-bodied Australian wine you would like specifically speaking??

Kasia Madera - she did one of the weekend shifts on World last week, I think the middle shift on Sunday. She is very good, IMO. (Although there are times when I forget I am watching the news and think I am watching A Question of Sport, as Kasia looks very very similar to Sue.)

And Martine and Annita together on the news channel. Wonder if there was a last minute change, since an all-female pair on the news channel is very rare

Less rare than it used to be, but yes, a potential last minute change.

I'd guess Clive is only on tonight because someone else couldn't make it - certainly Chris Lowe presented a Saturday bulletin last minute whilst he had that slot. Still, Annita or Karin are surely as suitable, compared to Clive who has only been presenting less than a year!

Not rare at all these days.

Clive is a better known face though, since he was one of the most high profile foreign correspondents.

Clive presented at least the late bulletin on Boxing Day last year, I think the last bulletin from N6 before it was closed for Barco replacements.

Annita was a foreign reporter too wasn't she, before she joined the NC presenting team?

Still don't see why they can't schedule the BBC 1 presenter at the top of the hour on the NC, if the the simulcast is on the 10 past, for example & get them to stay until a convienent point?

Everybody knows when that countdown less filler appears on the NC, & the NC presenter is standing up against the wall, it's BBC 1 time!

Deborah McKenzie is presenting the night shift (from midnight), unusual to see her in N6.

Does she present often? I don't often see the late presenters and I've only seen clips of her presenting at least a couple of years ago..

I've seen her a few times this year - she seems to mainly be relief cover at weekends. James Dagwell pops up during the week if someone's away, as does Al Yates on Mondays and Tuesdays if Martine's away, and Juliet Dunlop has appeared before too. Deborah's a good presenter in my opinion, and it would be nice to see more of her. I seem to recall she also does documentaries and World Service programming?
