Any caps of the bulletin tonight?? Was it Ranvir presenting?

I hope they sort out the reflections in the desk soon and more importantly use differrent camera shots so the underneath of the desk isn't visable along with a distracting screen inside the desk.

Also stumbled accross this image on the internet earlier, any ideas?

Looks like a mock.

After discovering the art of hovering my mouse over an image, it is described as "BBC North West Tonight door sign", and is on a website for plaque makers!

Any ideas why they would use this image? I shouldn't think it has ever been on screen has it.

Ranvir Singh presented tonight, from a very untidy newsroom. Let's hope they make some improvements to the studio this weekend.

You'd of thought the team at NWT would have plenty of money.

First, they get rid of Tina Bangs and Nigel Jay at Breakfast for one presenter who can probably do the work several other people do, Fiona Trott.

Then, at weekends, they get rid of Tina Bangs and the weekend team for Ranvir Singh who again, will most probably do all the work.

I still think they made a bad choice getting rid of Tina Bangs. Now I can see why she seemed so miserable towards the end.

I'd rather they concentrated on improving the content over the studio!!

Has Tina Bangs left the BBC? Also, what has happened to Nigel Jay? I haven't seen him for ages. He used to be great on NWT during Breakfast.

Not sure what's happened to Nigel, he presented bulletins at Christmas/New Year, then he popped up on a late bulletin back in February and I havent seen him since Neutral

Apparantly he now runs his own business...

Not long ago you were all moaning because we were getting random presenters doing seemingly random days. Now you're moaning that they use the same ones all the time now! Are you guys never happy?!

Like I've said, I think they got rid of Nigel Jay for the same reason they got rid of Tina - they can pay one person to do the job.

I see they made a bit more of an effort on tonights bulletin with the Newsroom than they did back when the studio was refurbished - noting the red lighting in particular. Still could of done with a plasma or at least a bit of tidying up.

Do we know why NWT has come from there this weekend?
