Really unusual to see George Alagiah presenting the News at Ten only and on a Friday! I suppose it was too quick of a turn around though if it was Fiona or Sophie as the literally would have had to run to the next studio and begin broadcasting straight away! Disappointed that Susanna Reid is off this morning but Charlie is still in the studio! Oh well we'll have to put with Naga Munchetty then!

LOL. Great News.

Good Heavens. Jan Leeming is now appearing naked on stage in a play??????? I just can't believe it! (mentioned at the foot of the attached link).

Can't imagine a BBC News presenter of today doing such a thing. LOL.

Does anyone know if Ben Brown was presenting/reporting from the Iraq Inquiry on Tuesday? I was wandering past and couldn't quite make out who was preparing for a piece to camera alongside Nick Witchell.

Yes he was.

Also, unusual to see Matthew on the 2-5 shift today.

Matthew did the 7-10 shift on Wednesday as well.

New face for 8pm update - Maryam Moshiri - don't think she has done this before?!?

I think shes done it before, but a long time ago

Who usually does it these days? Perhaps whoever it is was is ill and maryam covered since she is doing business news this evening?

Its normally Ellie Crisell, Riz Lateef normally does Friday and relief. Celina Hinchcliffe who does the sport sometimes does it too.

I'm surprised Maryam presented today all three of the usual presenters must have been unavailable then.
