Very interesting stuff, thankyou. Maybe some of her BBC colleagues should take note!
As a side note, looks to me as though Louise could be on the One all this week, just as Kate was last week. Wonder what's happened to Sophie Raworth, maybe she's on annual leave or something?? Also, it was extremely interesting to see Juliet Dunlop doing 11-2 yesterday with Matthew.
Yes, will be interesting to see if she covers the whole week as she was on the BBC news channel last Thursday and Friday, then breakfast Saturday and Sunday and now the one yesterday and today...she'll probably be on breakfast this weekend too so maybe Emily, Jane or Simon if Sophie and Kate are both off...

Doesn't surprise me at all - neither did Laura. The other presenter I'd like to see present would be Anita Anand, who might bring something different to it.
I really don't like her presenting style - she seems to try and make herself seem stern and authoritive, and she piles it on far too much to the point where she sounds like she looks and sounds angry, and shakes her head about at every word she says, and it looks really strange. She was exactly the same on Newsnight.

Maybe she needs to attend Maxine's tone course!

I'm guessing you're referring to Laura Kuenssberg? I know what you mean, but there are by far some worse presenters. Anita on the other hand I'd like to see on The Politics Show as she seems to have a calmer, smoother and slower delivery style - similar to Daily Politics colleague Andrew Neil - which might be a refreshing change compared to Sopel, Kuenssberg and Coburn (not that I have a problem with either three, by the way
)

Julian Worricker doing 630-10 tonight, makes a change from seeing him do the Friday afternoon shift.
Was Tim on 2-5 or was it Ben Brown again?

Ben did this afternoon. It's not uncommon for him to do 6.30pm shift, he quite often covers for Ben.

Similarly odd to see Sophie Long on the Friday evening shift - rare nowadays to see her anywhere other than the weekday afternoon or weekend late afternoon shifts.
It's not that rare, I've also seen her do the morning shift with Simon on occasion, the late morning shift, and the evening shift during the week, I've also seen her present the weekend early morning shift as well

Maybe the fact that her main role is a relief presenter may give you some indication to the fact she does not have a fixed slot but to be honest the main presenters don't these days.

That's what I meant, as a relief presenter I suppose she is required to appear in as many shifts as she possibly can (if that's how the system works at BBC News, can't say I'm 100% sure)

While that may be true, relief presenters do have shift limitations. It is pretty much a rarity to see anyone but Chris Eakin, Tim Wilcox or one of the overnight presenters (like Martine Croxall or Juliet Dunlop) on the 10:30 to 00:30 shift, for example. Sophie Long, Ellie Crisell and Rachel Schofield - while relief presenters - don't seem to work that shift.
Equally, someone like Rachel Schofield only seems to work three day weeks, you rarely see Julian Worricker covering for Simon McCoy and Martine Croxall seems to predominantly cover for weekend presenters such as Ms Long.
