A tweet from freelance journalist Bhavani Vadde who has presented on strike days previously suggests that BBC London News will be on at 1815.


And she has turned up for tonights shortened BBC London. I think I would have preferred Caroline Feraday to be honest.

Peter Levy presenting all three Look Norths from Leeds - seems very strange! Must be his first time in St Peter's Square despite it opening nearly 10 years ago now.

That's to do with the clocks going forward at the weekend.

Now thats how to do it.

Trail the opt, then introduce the weather.

Weather finishes. Cut to opt, no faffing.

Yes - it's indicating that the clocks are going ahead for BST - but the presenter perhaps didn't mention it?

Are BBC World continuing with their bulletin and the UK specific bit was done in their ad break?

It's to remind people the clocks go back this weekend (normally the presenter would also mention it).

North West Tonight is in the small studio used for Breakfast, but with a night time shot behind (despite it not being very dark) - no titles either.

I *think* he was still doing a token Radio Leeds show at the weekend when they moved.

I'm assuming they've brought Peter over to Leeds because Harry and Christa are off and they wanted somebody fairly senior to present across the three regions.

There was a minor cock up on HD, cutting to the preview loop rather than to the red screen first.

Very minor cock up though.

Actually the clocks go FORWARD one hour from GMT to BST.

Yes I would guess so. Look North are padding out a rubbish interview with an police commissioner interview down the line from Lincoln (with very poor picture quality and sound, and guest unable to hear Peter properly)
