Tbf Clive Myrie has been in Christchurch this week, but has been introduced more as a "reporter". I don't want to get off topic but I'd have thought he'd have qualified as an anchor.

I've never seen anyone captioned as an 'anchor', it's not a term that's really used officially

I suppose it depends if he's reporting from location into a bulletin... then he's a reporter, if he's presenting from that location then he's not


A presenter who's on location at the scene is normally referred to by the studio presenter (when crossing over) as 'my colleague'.

Or they get kicked down the can to either the 12th April (which is looking more likely the way things are at the moment) or May 22nd but yes Next Friday's shedules will need amending

Leaving on 29 March still technically on the table until UK law is changed but I would expect so.

I wonder if that is why the BBC wont change the schedules until the statutory instrument is passed in parliament to formally change the date (and I am not sure when that will be because presumably it wont be till after Meaningful Vote 3.)

If you think the schedule for next Friday is going to change the instant a 29 March exit is absolutely ruled out you are expecting too much. Even if this was the case after last night I wouldn't have expected it to change by this morning.

He's been introduced as 'my colleague' by the studio presenter, as is any anchor on location.

Didn't someone say there would be a BBC News Special between 21:30 to 23:35 on the 29th?

I suppose that isn't on anymore now.


Yes, on BBC One.

I doubt they've updated the schedule yet.


I would have been watching The Last Leg on ch4 anyway.

Interesting that the coverage is followed by Sliding Doors, a film about how one event can have huge consequences...

Same here - Adam looks set to hold on to his beard for a longer time.
