Mike Embley was back into his regular shift last night - wearing what was clearly a new tie that he got as a Christmas present - it looked like a barber's pole!! It was however, very nice Mike. Good to see you back into the regular slot.

Just beforehand, there was an appearance from Peter Dobbie and Maryam Moshiri. But, they only appeared for a couple of hours, IIRC. The shifts seem to be shorter right now at this period. Peter Dobbie IS indeed very good. It's great to have him back at World again.

Yeah, Peter Dobbie is indeed a great presenter.
Even if I can't stand Mariam Moshiri I have to admit that she did very well yesterday presenting her first (I think) evening edition of World Business Report together with Manisha Tank.
I really can't understand how are shifts organised this week... some appear to be 5 hrs long, others just 2...

I wonder if Peter Dobbie has been added to a presenter rota on a more permanent basis?

I was led to believe that Peter Dobbie presented Mon-Thurs 23.00-01.00 not 02.00

I don't watch that far into the night but I assumed only 2 hrs would be pointless

As pointless as that seems, Peter does only present between 23.00 and 01.00. That's when the overnight presenter starts and BBC World joins in.
