And a new face to get used to maybe, a woman called 'Penny' is doing the business on the NC now.

Karin Giannone on the Hub today, with Pooneh reading the headlines at the pod.

And I must say "exceptional" commentary on the NC with Jon and Sophie - "Is she gonna smash that champagne bottle?" "No Jon, it's rubber"


Surprised to see Karin Giannone on The Hub, but she is rather good actually.

Is Peter Dobbie still on World? Haven't seen him for a very long time.

Nope. That's the week Jeremy will be uploading and executing a virus on the dimblebot in an attempt to finally get that promotion. Kirsty wants to watch.

Penny Haslam, former producer of Moneybox and currently a presenter on BBC Radio 7.

Google really is amazing.

'Penny', eh? I'll bet it's a cover.

The 7th Friday in a row that Mishal is down for Newsnight! Plus a Thursday!!

If you ask me, I'd say she's definitely in the pipeline to take over from Gavin/Emily in upcoming years. Then Gavin and Emily, or maybe Matt Frei, or even Jon Sopel, to take over from Jeremy and Kirsty when they ultimately leave/retire. We sure are starting to see signs of Jeremy or Kirsty or somebody leaving!!

I would have thought that the BBC would want Kirsty to leave. If she leaves in the next couple of years, they'll automatically be accused of ageism!

Does Kirsty present the Review Show often? If she does then this reduces how much Newsnight she can present considering it's from Scotland - possibly takes out Thursday and Friday.

Why would anyone assume any of the Newsnight presenters are preparing to leave just because Mishal is doing some presenting? Absurd surely? I can't see Kirsty leaving anytime soon, why would she? Gavin - no chance, and as for Emily - come on, she's only been doing it a couple of years.

If Mishal started doing the Ten more than Fiona, would we all assume Fiona is prepping to leave? No!

Naga on the Eades slot again on World today. Have to say, she is kinda growing on me. She is fitting in quite well methinks. But where is David?

And Lyse Doucet is still in Cairo. Long stint.

I imagine World is where Naga will be staying mostly now on - other than covering Breakfast here in the UK. After all before being at the BBC she was at Bloomberg so may be a familiar face to some World viewers.
