No, he's done a weekend before, in the pre-election set.
Can't remember seeing him do a weekend but I have seen him do a couple of daytime updates.

On Sunday 18th it reads that BBC1 will see Simon McCoy at 5.45 and Fiona Bruce at 10.00.
If we do see Simon at 5.45, will this be his first time presenting a BBC ONE bulletin, excluding Breakfast.?

There looks to be a few treats in store for us. Simon McCoy On a prime time bulletin, Lucy Owen on ITV news xmas day, Natasha Kaplinsky doing a single header bulletin twice in a day, and Lauren Taylor on ITV news doing the 10:30. Oh and not forgetting Nicholas Owen doing the evening news all week

I recall well the years and years and years when in the 80's it would either be (ONLY) Jan Leeming and then Moira Stuart who religiously read the BBC News on Christmas Day. And they would commission a new frock for the occasion too.
Ah............those were the days...............

I suppose it depends where the bulletins occur on Xmas Day? Is there just one short lunchtime bulletin and one mid-evening bulletin?
If so - I'm sure Xmas morning and Xmas night are still available to spend time with family and friends.

This sounds exciting stuff! Poor Lucy, she's got a young child aswell, but ITV News do like to drag in the regional presenters when the main presenters are too cool for that.

Lucy's got a child ? well she should give it back to it's parents . Blimee just cos she's a newsreader doesnt give her the freedom to kidnap other p's children.
I don't think i can handle the excitement so i'll hopefully have passed out by the time they hit the screens.

Bill Turnbull says "Good morning, welcome to Breakfast from BBC News, I'm Bill Turnbull, and, it's Christmas Day." then "Thank you for joining us, Merry Christmas to you, also on today's programme...."
What about on World - I seem to recall some uproar regarding poppies a few yearsa go

This may seem a stupid question, but do newsreaders say 'Happy Christmas' or something along those lines, on Christmas Day, or do they have to consider not everybody in the community celebrates this event?

Ahh the Merry Christmas/Festive Greeting's debate. Haven't a clue how World works on C/Day but will go and find out.
