BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Well he was away for about 2 weeks filming in (?) Africa - he's maybe on holiday now

Oh Jane Hill, swearing on the NC just as it came back from weather. Obviously the mics were turned on a bit early, and you can quite clearly her her say 'I can't be arsed now'.

Yes, he was doing that. But still, would've classed going to Africa to report as a holiday!

I think the 2-5 is quite a weak broadcast now TBH. I think that Ben and Joanna are doing the best job at the moment.

Earlier in the week/last week (can't remember!) Emily Maitlis made a similar blooper where upon the return from the xx45 headlines (where the presenters now read out the current bourse values to suffice for a 4-min business update) she sarcastically muttered, "well, that was really comprehensive!" True. So true.

I wouldn't class going on a work assignment as holiday, by that rhetoric a correspondent being sent from London to say Damascus would be classed as a holiday.

Our very own Worzel had an interview with BBC News channel presenter Julian Worricker - listen to the episode here: http://cambridge105.fm/podcasts/matt-webb-13-06-2013/

Worzel and Worricker. And Webb. On the web.

I will listen in later.
