Some great shots on the Lunchtime News today. Even the director made it onto the walk way today!

Er, that's not a director. A director directs from the gallery. That's a floor manager.

Lucy Alexander with this morning's ITV1 summary - and back to the usual tight shot.

Does this mean that Lucy will present the ITV Lunchtime bulletin?

I doubt it.

I expect Nick is running a bit late, so Lucy was asked to step in.

Does it really matter? Im sorry im not the top of these technical people, but thats probably because im more interested in presentation. The Floor manager then.

I was shocked to see Lucy Alexander presenting the 10.55am bulletin, but the weird thing was that the main ITV1 announcer said it was Nicholas Owen. Though she didn't hint that she was going to be presenting the Lunchtime News as she only said "There's more in an hour and the Lunchtime News at 12.30pm", where as the duty presenter for all three bulletins usually says "I'm back...."

No the announcer did say it was Lucy Alexander...

Well the announcer got it wrong also, as Andrea presented it.

Are you sure? The anno in London said something like "and now the latest news headlines with Lucy Alexander"

On the ITV Traffic Reports (I just saw one for the first time), the scrolling of the map is really jerky...
