The Liberal Democrats are still going? Bless.


And happily beating Labour into third place last Thursday.

Just a joke my friend, and nothing to do with their policies. Wink

They have policies?

Yea, he was on with Sophie on Friday night too.
Seems like he is increasingly being used as a relief presenter - good to see.

Being from the South West, I've noticed Sophie Long for a while. I think she's slotted into rolling news very well. I hope she gets an opportunity on either the 1 or 6 sooner rather than later.

Anyone else have views on her presentation skills?


We had her before you at Pebble Mill!

She'll do !

Is Fiona the new Friday presenter of the Six. That's 3 out of the last 4 by my count after a 5 year gap!!


I think she might be - she's down to do it next week in the RT and Sian hasn't been on holiday or anything so it loks like they've decided it's better to have Fiona do the Friday Six and Ten.


Considering by all accounts she's the highest paid BBC newsreader I should bloody well think so!


What's happened to Sian as 2nd on the Six! I do hope this isn't a sign that Sian has been relegated.

Don't forget however she regularly did Sunday bulletins, but hasn't since Mishal Hussein became the main Sunday presenter, so taking on the Friday Six perhaps alleviates this.
She's also doing Monday and Tuesday's Six next week according to the RT, despite not doing the Ten .

Who was the male presenter on with Emily Maitlis at around 5pm last night?

EDIT:
After some searching, found out it's Tim Willcox.

You are joking right? He's on more times in a week than I am in the pub in a year.

He isnt anything special. Simon McCoy and Jon Sopel are streets ahead of him.

All this week on the Ten hand over he has been awfully wooden and uncomfortable and pretty miserable.

The less I see of him the better, but he is always bloody on Rolling Eyes

On a side note good to see Julian Worricker and Martine Croxhall on the 2-5 shift today.
