BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

How come Tim Wilcox is on so often.

Sometimes i'll see him broadcasting to around 1am sometimes and then wake up and find him on the air at 8am? Does he ever sleep?

Sally Nugent presenting on the news channel today - haven't seen her in months. Has she been on maternity?

Fiona Bruce & Kate Silverton were on... Top Gear tonight.

It's been a bit of an over-kill with Fiona lately. It seems she's always on some kind of programme lately, whether it be Top Gear, Loose Women or Five News. Is this a sign that she is going to be dumped from the news very soon?

No - it's a sign that she's got a book out... (And also there is the Antiques Roadshow thing)

Yes, the book is called Savvy, and it's about how women can stay safe (based on her time with Crimewatch) - she mentioned it on The One Show.

Also, according to the RT Noel Thompson is doing Breakfast this Sunday - it's coming up to the time of year when all the usual presenters take a holiday.

Noel knows his way around Breakfast. He was one of the better fill-ins, IMO. As was Mike Peschardt.

I can't help but think of Jill Dando when I read that sentence.

Didn't do her much good.

Yes, I'm aware she has a book out.

Declan Curry and Adam Shaw are swapping jobs

Hmm, I'm pleased they are dropping Nik Wood from Working Lunch, but Adam Shaw was always great, I'm sure he will be just as good though on Breakfast and the NC.

Hmm, not sure about this...Adam really *is* Working Lunch, especially after Adrian left. Lets hope Gillian Lacey-Solymar stays....though I notice she has been doing the odd Newsnigh report recently.

With a complete relaunch does that mean the end of the fish?! Will be interesting to see what they do to TC7 though.
