Joanna Gosling with Clive Myrie first, but he left just before 8PM.


He is presenting the network news tonight so might be to prepare for that.

Adam Parsons returns tonight for the late shift - please don't say this man is the new Tim Willcox..

On introducing a previous interview that Joanna Gosling did, he referred to her as "my colleague" - considering he's only been back at the BBC a few days and in that time back he hasn't presented with her, that seems a bit odd.

What's odd about that? Regardless of whether they've worked together recently, they are still colleagues - they both work for the BBC.

And I've heard many journalists refer to rival journalists from other networks as 'my colleague' before.

Good to see the 'over-50s' are still being used on the NC, also worth noting that Fiona Armstrong was on this morning with Simon McCoy

Only Julia Somerville who still hasn't turned up yet this week - unless she's going to appear on the evening shift tonight it doesn't look like she will be.

Wasn't Carole 'moaning' recently about not being used, then someone said 'Well you don't seem to be available for use!'?

I think it was something like Carole wrote in an BBC internal magazine about how she'd barely been used as a newsreader since the Over 50s thing started. But as some noted, she's also a political correspondent most days - she can't do both..

Johnathan Leggard presenting the sports news! That's one hell of a step backwards from being an F1 commentator!
