Brilliant show, thats how the news should be. She should be the pernament 6.30 host with Mark. Why did she leave ITN anyway?


Two Words - Kirsty Young!


Didn't Julia stay with ITN, even after the arrival of Kirsty Young, wasn't she one of the faces to launch the ITN News Channel ?


yes but the perception was that she had been shunted to the news channel to make way for Kirsty Young.

Judging simply by that brief clip, they make an attractive on-screen pairing. Julia is tall enough not to look ridiculous (as most other presenters do) standing next to Mark.

Thanks once again, on behalf of all of us who are remote and don't have access to ITN. From what I have seen above though, time hasn't been as kind to Selina as it has to Julia!! Only joking. I think its merely down to the fact that I haven't seen Selina in any form for around ten years!!

I am sure that tonight's bulletin will be fantastic too. No reason for it not to be!!

I guess Julia will be the only one who has presented the "Evening News" before, quite often filling in for Trevor McDonald when it was a single-anchored programme.

Can't have been that often. I remember Dermot Murnaghan used to be the main replacement for Trevor back then, and it wasn't that long after the 1999 relaunch before Kirsty Young came along


I remember Julia used to stand in on the ITV Evening News quite often, just as much as Demot did. Dermot's regular bulletin was the Nightly News at 11pm. I remember one Friday Julia did the lunchtime, evening and nightly news.

It was great seeing Julia on the news last night, I think she should return on a permanent basis.

i just saw the 620 "coming up" and at first I thought Kirsty Young was back!

oh dear. Selina was rumoured to have quite an opinion of herself but I doubt very much that could exist now - looking a bit worse for wear.

I know its cheeky but could you do a clip of the evening news for the rest of the week??

You know similar to how the other clip was the ending the "Tomorrow is....!" and the walk to the desk etc.

Thanks

I think she's pretty fab, although I've always liked Selina. I think she looks great after all these years.

The only thing is that she doesn't seem to know which camera they are cutting to next - but I'm sure she'll have it mastered by the end of the show.

I thought Selina did well considering how complicated their presentation is for the 6.30 and she only has the one go at it.

She looks good too, she's quite regal in her style , very reserved .Definitely no chance of a kiss for marky boy tonight. Razz

< not on camera anyway >

I thought Selina coped quite well. Obviously the nerves were there but she did good. Her and Mark were quite a good partnership actually.
