i THINK sOPHIE SUITED THE TEN VERY WELL... NONE OF THE MAITLIS OR KAPLINSKY ABOUT HER

Quite a bit of difference there though! While both work hard on the glamour aspect, Maitlis is a sharp, incisive, hard-nosed journalist but Kaplinsky is vacuous and totally lacks any credibility.

Two questions for you all...

Arrow Is Ellie Crisell returning to Newsround? She presented the morning updates a few weeks ago during the olympics, but hasn't returned to NR (as far as I'm aware) and her profile has been taken off the NR website.
Arrow Has Kate Silverton now left the 8pm update or will she be returning? If not will the presenter line up remain the same?

Thanks,

I was wondering what Kate Silverton would be doing after the One. I still don't know. Of course, she's supposedly for the new GMTV job. Apparently, her contract has ended with the BBC.

Interesting presenter line-up this afternoon...
Rachel Schofield & Chris Eakin (rare shift of his where he co-presents)
Aaron Heslehurst doing the business
Julia Caesar providing live coverage from the Stock Exchange
Adnan Nawaz with the sport (I think he's mostly on World these days??)
...and Casia Madera on the BBC One 3pm update (I presume as Fiona will do the 6 and the 10.)

Also Mariam was at LSE for the news channel all morning, yet it was Declan Curry on the one. I wonder if Declan was doing other stuff, perhaps in preparation for the relaunched working lunch thus why Mariam was covering.

Good to see Chris Eaklin on this afternoon - don't normally watch BBC News after 10:30 so normally miss him.

EDIT: Who's Sarah Whilmshurst? Doing the weather this afternoon

Adnan had been doing quite a few shifts on the news channel over the weekend.... seems to be becoming a regular, or some serious cover was in need...

EDIT: Casia Madera? Whos that?

Kasia Madeira presents the headlines loops on BBCi.

Sarah Wilmshurst used to present the weather regularly many years ago on BBC One, and has done a few shifts this year on the news channel, mainly in the morning.

I've just seen a profile for a forecaster called Simon King on the BBC Weather website.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/forecasters/simonking.shtml

It says he's been presenting on the news channel since August, but I've never seen him. Does he do overnights or something?

Alistair Yates wearing glasses?

Yes, Alastair is wearing glasses and rather suits them, in fact.

That Sarah Palin has got a lot to answer for!! I have seen many people following her trend and wearing Sarah-specs as a fashion statement..........LOL

Saw on the programme's website that Julian Worricker has joined the BBC Radio Four You and Yours team - as he's one of only three presenters I assume we'll sadly be seeing less of him on the news channel.

It's only on for an hour.
