Loved Alastair Yates being caught unawares last night at the opening of the late evening bulletin. The end of the countdown must have creeped up on him, as he was sitting in full view wearing his reading glasses and analysing his printed scripts.
Like a real pro, he slowly removed them and made it all look rather fatherly and normal, before launching into "This is the International News from BBC World........"
Andrea Sanke was less so calm when she was caught too, flicking her hair back and shouting at the gallery last night on CNNI's World News Europe.

I actually like waking up with Lucy Hockings, much more than with David Eades. I like her: good-looking, nice voice and presentation style and she's quite a good presenter in my opinion...
Other presenters might do better (Mike Embley did the early morning stint ages ago and was brilliant) but Lucy is doing good too.

Oh, Lucy Lucy Lucy Lucy..............what are we going to do with you??????
For a reason that I cannot even begin to explain, and I don't know why, but Ms Hockings is just NOT suited to being the anchor of the Pioneer Bulletin of the day..........there is a loudness, or something, that renders her out of place on The World Today.
Yes, I like Lucy Hockings, and I have grown to like her presentation style, but I prefer someone else on The World Today.
I know this post is probably a waste of time because I am not explaining myself properly, but that's the best I can do.
It's like watching Breakfast on BBC News, and having Carol Vorderman at the Newsdesk instead of Moira. Carol is an exceedingly clever and capable person, but she just ain't suited to Newsdesk.........oh damn it. I can't get my point across.

There will be some changes to BBC World in the summer, including a brand new programme aimed at the Breakfast Audience in the states. and the evening audience in Asia.
The programme will be presented by one of the BBC's best known news presenters, a face well known to viewers in the UK and across the world.
Expect a press release in the next couple of weeks

Is there a possibility that Tanya Beckett is London bound? She has been in the |USA for quite a while now. My guess is that she is shortly in line for a move back to BBC HQ.

looking forward to that, thanks.

That's interesting - will it possibly be branded, maybe as another edition of The World Today? But i just don't know who the news presenter could be - Peter Sissons springs to mind - but is he known internationally?
Hold on - is it George Alagiah??

I think Tim Sebastian has lost the plot altogether! Did anyone see his "grilling" of UN Atomic Energy Chief, Mohammed el Baradei during the Doha debates today?
For Christ sake - the man (Commissioner) is a Nobel Recipient, and an excellent example in his field. Yet, despite the programme being billed as a chance for local students to ask him about his work, Sebastian went to town on him, treating him extremely shoddily, accused him of not knowing what he was talking about and continually interrupted the gentleman's responses to his (Tim's) badly put questions!!
BBC and Qatar Foundation - this guy is past his sell-by date and it's an embarrassment to watch him any more. Gone are the days of credible interviewing. He must remember that he is no longer presenting HardTalk, and to treat emminent guests int he way that he did today is shocking.
