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?



She did something similar last time she was on maternity. Cropped up to host a special bulletin at the launch of Iraq War (the first Sunday Evening News IIRC) and wasn't seen again for months after.

It has been a damn long time! The guideline for maternity leave is 18 weeks.

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.

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.


The main ITV1 anchor coming in to work on days when he's not presenting? I very much doubt that!

Interesting article on This Morning a few minutes ago, Sir Trev talked about the advances of ITN both on the presenting and journalistic front. Pictures of the release of Nelson Mandela, Neil Armstrong, and Saddam were shown in regards to memorable ITN moments. Very interesting.

I don't suppose anyone manage to capture some shots from This Morning's ITN sequence, did they?

Nope, but you didn't miss anything, it was just clips of News events, with Trevor McDonald being interviewed throughout, though he was being slightly OTT about ITV IMO and you could tell that he isn't keen on the whole Theatre of News look, he didn't say that, but there was a hint when they mentioned New Technology.

It also seemed to jump from Nelson Mandellas release in 1990 to ITV News today and it's virtual studios - completly ignoring all the fuss around the end of News at Ten.

That didn't stop Philip and Fern making their views on the subject very clear though...!

weird design for the "Restoring Respect" part tonight. Has this been used on the 6:30 before?
