Wow Marcus. What an enlightening post!!
Witchell must have somehow worked, as he reported on Camilla's visit to a hospital in Southampton, or somewhere.
Whether a recorded package or not, he must have recorded it from somewhere, as it was specific to the actual visit.

why the rolleyes?
i also notice MG has an article which calls him a "Gary Lineker lookalike!"
Well I can just imagine himself thinking that he's the bees knees, and he comes across as slightly slimey to me, anyway.

Steven always appears amazingly cold, which works when your a serious figure, who has important things to say in a short time, Sissons can be rather excellent at this, but Steven always comes across as a bit of a tit! Sorry, its the whole Click business, he's such a wan&er and furthermore appears to have some dillusions about his popularity.
As for the figures for the Ten, I can only say people were really desperate to see the News 24 studio, and possibly that tower.....

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.
Grrrr... this type of comment always really annoys me. Organisations... particularly large ones, need people with a whole range of 'talents', it isn't a foregone conclusion that someone exceptional working onscreen is a capable manager. The BBC needs managers... not too many admittedly... but it is just plain stupid to criticise someone who is a manager and standing-in for not being talented enough... you don't know how talented they are because you aren't seeing them managing... you are seeing them presenting... doing a different job... the two are different roles! The BBC should keep talented presenters on screen and talented managers managing.
Slightly off topic, but the same goes for education and hospitals.. why do we assume that a teacher-manager or doctor-manager is a better manager than a manager-manager (if you see what I mean!). Yes, managers do need real-world 'back to the floor' experience, but you shouldn't judge a BBC manager's contribution to the corporation based on their ability to stand in as a presenter.
I'm not saying that I agree/disagree with the strike, but I get fed up with many peoples' assumptions that 'managers are bad, uneccessary beings'.
(P.S. -Yes... I am a manager....!)
There seems to be a manager for everthing now at the BBC. There's probably a manager of manager of managers.
Which one are you? Manager of stroppy postings on the Internet?
LOL.... not working for the BBC at all. And yes, you may be right... there may be too many managers at the BBC (I couldn't judge that), but it was your basic presumption that someone who is 'good at doing' is going to be 'good at managing' and vice versa that I took exception to.

These visits are so choreographed that the specifics could have been recorded before hand, and Media Guardian suggests that they were. However, Witchell was at the hospital in Southampton and when asked if he was breaking the strike said that he wasn't there officially.

Is there anyone who is actually nicer off camera than on?
Nick Owen...
He is both a brilliant broadcaster and a very nice man to boot, plus he's a Shropshire Lad, and rather a local celebrity

When people are on camera, they are a lot different to when they are their normal selves. Don't be fooled! There only seems to be a handful that are genuine both on and off camera.
