Looking on YouTube and it seems that Victoria Derbyshire presented some of today's BBC coverage but as a BBC News bulletin rather than as her own programme - as a result it looks quite weird as she is dressed very informally for a serious programme!


Yes, I thought the same - imagine the furore if Huw Edwards turned up in rolled up sleeves and jeans.

Who needs 'old-fashioned' live news, when you could have live roulette gambling instead, along with a PowerPoint slideshow of Emmerdale plot lines? Rolling Eyes

Calendar is coming live from Manchester tonight. It's amazing how many eyewitnesses associated with the media were there, on hand to give a good account of what happened, so far we've had two Calendar presenters who were at the gig, and an actress from Emmerdale.

You'll also spot a dress change about an hour in when a colleague hands a different jacket and all shots are waist high to avoid showing the jeans.

Though in fairness, given train times, scheduling and how long it took to get there she probably wanted to go straight on air.

I agree it did look strange, although I think she was wearing a more formal jacket after 10am.

Some problems with connection to George on tonights BBC News at 6.
Lost sounds and visuals

Let's hope there's a back up presenter in the studio in case the line goes down completely.

I'm surprised it hasn't made the Daily Mail.

Talking about the press, has a certain paper done a story about two people on Twitter complaining that Loose Women wasn't on?!

If not, can I get a few bob for doing it?


"Viewers OUTRAGED as ITV dramatically AXES Loose Women!

Viewers today were in a state of SHOCK when Loose Women was replaced by something of actual importance. Viewers had this to say:

< INSERT A DOZEN OR SO EMBEDDED TWEETS >

An ITV spokesman could not be reached."

That's not really an excuse, she must of known the nature of the news. Everyone else managed OK.

Where is the BBC News vantage point where Huw and George have been broadcasting from?

Nice to see my efforts are not for waste.
