Manisha is likely to be standing in for another heavily pregnant lady in the near future


I think ArchiveTV is referring to Tanya Beckett. In fact, Katty Kay will be leaving BBC World shortly on maternity leave and Richard Porter has someone in mind to replace her in Washington....they might go with the Asian theme again, but who knows.

Who the heck is Richard Porter???

Anyway, why not use Justin Webb as a replacement for Katty? He is excellent.

I thought he was the editor of Breakfast. I remember his name appeared at the end of the closing titles last year for a bit. If he isn't then who is now?

Why is The World being broadcast from Washington this week?

I must admitt, however, that I like it. I think it works much better. It gives it a more global theme.

I noted that Jamie Robertson has been doing all the evenings this week, so I am guessing that Dharshini is doing TWT in place of Manisha, who is now in New York??? Have I got this right?

David Jessel had a classic moment last night when a two way with Sopel at Westminster was on, then off, then back on again, then off again..............but the height of the camera and the reflection of the studio lights in David Jessels spectacles meant that we couldn't see his face all night - just a big glare.

Don't know why Zeinab is in Washington all week - but I agree it's better.

Yep, Dharshini has been doing all TWT shifts this week so far that I have seen, and David Jessels looks much better with his glasses off and ive always found that you can never see his eyes cos of the reflection on them from his specs.
