So how did World and News 24 wrap up the Ten, following the long pause for the regional opt outs?

Apparently at least one of those stories was filed a fortnight ago. Not sure if there simply hadn't previously been room for it, or if they'd deliberatley stockpiled it.

I was on the phone at the time so missed the Reporting Scotland bulletin - did it actually finish, or did the weather just crash straight into it?

Who the heck is Susan Donald. She just did Reporting Scotland and she looked scared and frozen to the seat.

On RP she just said that was it and cut straight to weather cutting off the start of the bulletin.

It's like watching the CBBC Channel. lol

Hang on now I don't think I saw that pixel on Click Online last time.

I have to agree with this. The format and agenda was far superior to a normal BBC One bulletin IMV. All that was (possibly) missing was a headline summary at 15 minutes.

Additionally, everything that was presented was useful - no pointless OBs, no pointless graphics.

As an aside, using the TOG looked better than the normal BBC1 bulletin graphics as well.

Who presented BBC London News? (edit: just got answer on previous page)

She seem relieved that the 3 minute bulletin was over, and she was slow and paused too much.

And he's dreadful.

Just goes to show that the BBC has far too many over-paid managers, and it's these people that should be sacked from the BBC. The BBC has more suits than talent, and as we have seen today which is very clear - the suits have no talent, and it amazes me how they are in the high positions that they occupy.

God, the ITV News mock-up of the national studio, looks better than the real thing on BBC1. Penny Marshall has been in it for the Briefing.

Sally Bowman (?) presented East Midlands Today, though Anne Davies was on at 6.25. Looked like South Today was being presented for both Southampton and Oxford by Geraldine Peers from Oxford.
