Another brilliant little gem.

There must be producers/editors/presenters all over BBC News seeing things going out live, and then just knowing that's going to be on the fix.

I think they should add some Emily Maitlis news clips too- she must say something that can be taken hideously out of context at some point during her News 24 stints!

A bit like Sian Williams' "we want to see the vaseline" Shocked

So Emily seems to have a week off. This week's story fix is presented by Paddy O'Connell.

However he intoduced himself as Emily at the beginning Smile

I actually prefer Emily's delivery of the show, the initial impression i got, was that Paddy was rushing through the whole programme. Emily's tone throughout the programme seems far more relaxed.

Good point that actually. Keep Paddy away. KEEP PADDY AWAY!

I'm sorry but could Emily do an equally good expression to camera when Jimmy Saville props men between his legs? I think not.

Probably because he knew the show was only 5/6 mins long?!?

Paddy O'Connell is awesome on Storyfix, as he is in most things he does. I think he's an excellent presenter with a wit and comic timing all of his own.

I agree, he's a very underrated presenter.
