Breakfast (simulcast with BBC1 until Cool-Bill and Sian with Dermot and Sussanah at weekends
8am to11am- Carrie and Kate (worked well together those couple of days)
11am to 2pm-Matthew and Sophie (i think she's better suited on N24) with Jane on the 1
2pm to 5pm-Louise and John
5pm to 6pm-George
6 O' Clock News-Fiona and Emily
6.30pm to 10pm-Ben and Natasha
10 O' Clock News-Huw/Peter
10.30pm to 1am-Chris

I'd have Tim Willcox covering shifts seeing as he usually does anyway.

Whats your ideal ,ine up?

PAXMAN on Breakfast ? Don't make me laugh. The reason he stopped doing Start the Week was that he decided he didn't like getting up that early in the morning.

Paxman did BBC Breakfast TV for several years in the mid 80s.

Hardly. Bring up a child, being a surgeon, fighting in a war - those a difficult things. Planning an imaginary rota for a bloody news channel - not difficult. Grow up.
