Oh, dear, Tanya back in London. When will she return to NY?


She won't, she's now swapped with Dharshini. (see previous page)
What shift is she on?

And another thing, why the 8-5 shift on business? Thats way too long plus they need another shift to use all the presenters they've got now.

Or all the other shifts are way too short.

That reminds me that there's also a french flag (or something that looks like it) in the background of the London newsroom.

oh and has anyone seen a piece by Mae Loon in the past few weeks/months? The last time I've seen her reporting dates back to january 2006. Any appearance since then? As far as I can tell it looks like she's been replaced by Lawrence Ong. Has anyone got any news on whether she might have left the BBC?

I'm not sure which bulletin you are referring to, but Alastair Yates did the 21.00-01.00 BST shift last night - the only co-presenter he had was Daljit Dhaliwal for the Washington-London bulletins.

I've just finished watching a BBC World bulletin presented by Manisha Tank. I have to say that she's excellent. She has always been brilliant on WBR and I'm glad she's now making the transition to news. She didn't make any mistakes and she handled a failed VT at the end of the bulletin very well.

Agreed. It as only a matter of time before she started presenting News.

She moved to Breakfast when Natasha went to the Six last year. She's now on maternity leave.
