Mishal Husain is doing the final network bulletins from Television Centre this evening, which includes tonight's Ten.

Couldn't have chosen someone better to present this very poignant bulletin.


Agreed! She was terrible on the Christmas bulletins, properly terrible. The newsdesk is not her thing!


I don't think Jaxford was being sarcastic - there's nothing wrong with Mishal Husain, in fact she's pretty good!

Yes I wasn't being sarcastic. She's a true pro and it's her shift so it makes sense for her to do it.


Sory I've just re-read Jaxford's post and understand what was meant. I thought Jaxford was asking couldn't they have chosen someone better, but I have now re-read it and understand the post.


Would have been particularly special if someone had been brought back to (co-?)present the bulletin, e.g. Angela Rippon, Sue Lawley, Nick Witchell, Jon Tusa or Ed Stourton?

Agreed. I'd discounted her on the basis she is on R2 in the morning, but there would be no BIGger way to send off TVC.

According to a thread on Twitter with Mishal, Sian and Simon, it's Simon McCoy who's presenting the final N6 bulletin tomorrow.

It looks like Simon McCoy will be doing the final shift at TVC tomorrow morning, judging by his Twitter exchange with Mishal.

That's a long shift! Will he be there 0830-1257?

Or are they going single headed, with Carrie 0830-1057 and Simon 11-1257?

It's Simon and Carrie from 0830-1257 according to Stuart Earl.

It does look like it is Simon. But if Simon will be the "last face" of N24 at TVC, it might be possible the back half hours of 9, 10 and 11 may be a replay of a previous half-hour or replaced with pre-recorded magazine show.

Ummmm why would they do that?

It's great that they let these two do the final hours. They will give it a proper good bye.

Stuart Earl has just corrected. It's Sophie Long with Simon, not Carrie.
