Seeing as Katie & Andrea will be off soon... perhaps they need another main female anchor that isn't Felicity Barr...

Any idea when Mary will be coming back?

well they could have used shuilie ghosh (appologies if spealt incorrect) - she is a well known face having previously presented evening and lunchtime news bulletins before.
I wonder when Katie goes off on maternity they will use Leyla as her stand in on the lunchtime news.


Am I right in thinking that Shiulie has presented the Early Evening News (In the John Suchet era) ?

i think she sometimes did the early evening news - though can't say for deifinite. i know she has presented the evening news before with mark austin and with dermot when he was on it.
I think she mainly used to present the weekends before until Andrea Catherwood decided she didn't want to do foreign reporting

This Morning will be looking back at 50 years of ITV News / ITN with Sir Trevor McDonald tomorrow in the latest part of their ITV 50 strand.

Last week it was about a 10-15 minute feature on soaps just after 11pm, though times vary.

Should be interesting!

What the Trevor McDonald that hardly presents the News at 10.30?! I hope he doesnt mention the last few years, as he has hardly been there.

Talking of absence - Mary Nightingale? Made an appearance on ITV's big election night, and gone again, how long now? 7 months since she has last presented the Evening News, in November?

Yes, but you have to remember, just because he isn't presenting, it doesn't mean he isn't in working in the newsroom. He is an assistant editor on the News at Ten Thirty, so presenting isn't the only thing he does. Plus, ITV News will decide who will present, so its not a case of Trevor phoning in, and saying I don't fancy presenting today.

I think Mary will probably be back soon, although she may want to spend more time with her baby. I would imagine her coming back will coincide with Katies's departure.

I thought Trev's contract may be 3 days a week, like Eamon done at GMTV. Trev is leaving at the end of this year isnt he?

Autumn, apparently.
Does this mean that he will leave ITN completely though, or will he continue working in the newsroom for a full week?

Here we go again, another sad looser who wants everything in perfect English.

The punctuation isn't great but it most of the words are formed correctly and it is readable!
