According to the Radio Times someone called Louise White will be presenting BBC One's Sunday Bulletins. I've never heard of her - has anyone else? I would have thought anyone being allowed on BBC One's bulletins would have to have some experience, but I've never seen her on the news channel?

Theres a Louise White that works for STV but its probably just Louise Minchin!

Slightly odd pairing today on the NC with Karin Giannone and Ben Brown...

I noticed "Louise White" too, has she got married recently? She was announced as Louise Minchin.

Yes, Marco Pierre in fact. How wonderful actually, it sounds like Barco, probably why she chose him. I hear she's pregnant, so she should be off for a while. Bob the Builder will be filling in.

So will they announce 'the BBC News with Bob the Builder' or will they actually use his surname? For that matter, what is his surname? Is he married? Did his wife take his name or keep her own?

I wonder if he'll be able to fix those troublesome N6 Barcos. Will the EPG be updated to inform viewers of the presenter change?

Perhaps she will be doing both?


Doubt it - When Louise does Missing Live (on at the same time too) she's off for the duration, with Emily or Jane covering her BBC 1 shifts. I'd imagine it will be Louise covering for Sophie with Emily or Jane covering Fridays. Unless they decide the One is more prominent than Breakfast at which point it will be Kate. Joy. Rolling Eyes

Nice to see Sophie get some presenting work outside of news - Natasha (while at BBC News), Louise, Kate and Sian (City Hospital a while back for example) have all done other work whereas I don't know I've seen Sophie on anything else!

By the way, with Sophie and Huw often appearing on the six at the moment, would it be fair to say they're covering Sian's BBC 1 bulletins - Sian relief presenting for George/ Fiona?



Well in fact Sophie IS doing both Crimewatch Roadshow and News at One.

Clever handover at 11am during the Blears resignation story

Willcocks and Gracie on at 0830

1100 headlines presented by Gracie and Amroliwala

Continuation with Amroliwala and Schofield from 1104.

Have to say I think Jon Sopel is a real asset to the channel when a big political story breaks - his contribution from Westminster is consistently excellent.

Is Alex Deakin who presents the weather OK? I notice he has a plaster on his left eye (our right as you look at him) and a large plaster on his right hand - I do hope he is OK because he is such a fab weather presenter.

The clicker that advances the weather slides exploded actually. He was left with severe lacerations to his hand and a fragment in his eyelid.
