Unusual "Monday" pairing on The World Today slot this morning: Martine Dennis and Jamie Robertson.

Whilst Martine is regular in that slot on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, she's less present midweek. I wonder if this is a sign that Naga is off on holiday or is doing GMT later-on because George Alagiah is away again?

Either way, love to see Martine on the telly!


According to her twitter Naga is doing GMT today, then her usual Tues-Thurs and then she is doing breakfast on Friday.

Biz presenter Ben Thompson is coming back out to Dubai to anchor Middle East Business report for a month. Then back to the UK. And then will be posted to Washington and USA from September onwards to cover the US elections!

I hope they have plenty headroom in that Washington studio. Matt Frei was quite small. Ben is VERY tall.

Adnan Nawaz on the News Channel now, first time I've ever seen him present in N6.

He copresented joint World/NC coverage of the fall of Tripoli in August with Adam Parsons. Was that in N6 (can't remember that far back)

Yes, that was in N6. At the time Adnan was on World duty, whilst Adam was on NC duty, and they joined up together. Adam then joined Babita Sharma in N8 at 1am and they presented together until 4am, when I think Martine Dennis or Naga Munchetty (?) took over from him, and joined Babita , meaning Adam did an entire nine hours on air!

Must be a holiday week indeed. James Coomarasamay filling in for Lucy Hockings in World. Lyse Doucet is in for Mishal Husain. And Karin Giannone is in for Nik Gowing. And Juliette Foster is in for Aaron Heslehurst. Jamie Robertson is in for Sally Bundock.

Can't complain.
