Kate Silverton did about 5 minutes on the NC last night at 10pm as BBC1 were overrunning with the athletics. Was she on the 'late' NC shift, or would she just have been 'studio siting' in case there was a technical issue with the Olympics studio during the News at (five past) Ten?

I guess she was studio sitting, as the late NC shift was done by someone else!

Okay, not only has this gone from which presenter's bins you've raided, it's now levelled up to which room they're in at any given moment! It's wrong.

I think Beep is just getting exasperated at the increasing tedium of the rota threads.

Plus whilst we're talking about this James - and I say this despite the fact I like you - I have to say you are partly responsible for encouraging the rota morons by giving this thread a semblance of class when it deserves nothing but derision.

Bang on Pete, It's one thing knowing when one's working or what channel they're on, now it's down to exact studio! Firstly I don't think anybody on this site isn't aware what ' N6' is and what channel it's on - in my mind it's not right! It's like there's a strange appendage waving going on regarding presenters - i.e. "you know what channel BBC Tim is on but I know what ROOM he's in!"

A semblance of class?? Well, thank you for your kind compliment. I'll just put on my cravat and smoking jacket, as it's now officially Gin o'Clock.

I'll try not to make this sound moronic, but good choice by BBC World News to have an Ironman Triathlete anchoring LIVE coverage of the Olympic triathlon from Hyde Park. Who better qualified!

I am, of course, referring to Peter "Dobs" Dobbie.
