Who presented the 1520 bulletin on BBC One?


There wasn't one, there are no short news summary's this week, instead the only news on BBC 1 is at 1, 6 and 10.

Shame ...I would of loved to have found out whether it is Moira.
Well I take it some of the Regional Newsrooms didn't know because Susan Osman said on the Lunchtime Points West that see would be back at 3.20pm!

May I just say that, although I am not a regular follower of the Moira Stuart culture, I couldn't help but notice that the bulletin which she presented on Sunday morning had a very "special" feel to it, as though it was a news bulletin to transcend all news bulletins - yet it was impossible to explain quite why.

I am still really annoyed I missed it, and for some reason they didn't put it on News Online.

I can't imagine Moira has much time for fads like reading the news standing or perching. I remember when Breakfast decamped to News 24 because of flooding in the main studio, Moira was made to stand up at first to read her bulletins. She soon got a proper seat though!

A round of applause for Winifred, chaps. I also cannot imagine the indignity of the BBC's best news presenter having to stand up whilst delivering the bulletin.

By rights she should have a throne.
