Five News - New Look

Video showing opening, coming up, close and weather (which reminds me of GMTV weather of years gone by). I didn't catch the your news sting but you didn't miss much.

Err.. Are they playing the 5pm edition, again? The opening is identical, same headline story's and well.. same everything so far?!

Looks much like it .....

Looks like this is just the 5pm programme again, the reporter made the same mistake while talking again. So I expect we will just see a pre-recorded ending at the end of the bulletin with Nastasha saying something about tommorows bulletin and the updates?

So it's not me, it is a repeat? Same stories, same order, same programme as a few hours ago, whats the point of that?

Oh well, can't be a repeat - they're live at the High Court. Very suspicious though, it did look very much like it...

The headline script had been rewritten.

An extra story this hour - Tim Marshall live in Islamabad.

We haven't had Gypsy and Bedroom Singists yet, fingers crossed that they don't make a reappearance.

edit ...

The singists are to be featured.

A lot more lives in this bulletin. Reporter at the High Court about the McCartney story. Certainly more 'newsy'

Does anyone know who has composed the music?

Goodness... all it would have to do would be to include a few paparazzi shots of Geraint Vincent crossing the road to a branch of Barclays before it would become a televised version of Reveal . The layout feels like that of a trashy teenage women's magazine.

No wonder Natasha looked and sounded so uncomfortable, both in the trailer, pre-launch publicity and the actual bulletin. Even though she's admittedly not the world's best newsreader, no-one deserves to be humiliated by being associated with this.
