Martine Croxall presenting solo tonight?

Presumably this is because there is a BBC News Special at 1930 (on the snow Shocked ) and a special at 2030 (to do with The Queens Royal Lancers), they thought two presenters wasn't required?

how will they do the 9.30 handover? will the 10.30 presenter start earlier for the N8 slot

I think so, if I remember correctly a couple of years ago when Maxine Mawhinney did the 7-10 slot solo Chris Eakin took over at 2130 to do the N8 half hour

Martine now on with Chris Eakin Very Happy

Martine is now with Chris Eakin for the 9PM TOTH, seems a waste of time seeing as one will have to leave to N8 after 10 minutes.

oops. Aaron Heslehurst on World Business Report was just astoned as "Owen Thomas". Not sure who of the two will be the most flattered!

Aaron also confirmed on air that it's his last working day for the year and he'll be back after the holidays. Hope he is not planning to fly anywhere from LHR specifically??

Hello everyone, what's going on today - it seems like a World simulcast! I've just tuned into the NC and Naga's on with Juliette Foster. Can anyone give me a run down of the presenters today?

Was it single-headed again tonight? At around 8:45 Juliette Foster was occupying the second presenter's chair?

That's incredibly bizarre - it was Matthew Amroliwala and Naga Munchetty at the 7pm TOTH

EDIT: Matthew was in the main presenters seat (to the left on our screens) and Naga in the second presenter's seat (to the right of our screens)
