Yes, that background is usually used for the 10.30 news. A lighter one is used for both Lunchtime and Evening news.

That struck me, too. Don't they usually have a lighter background for the early evening Weekend News? It did look rather silly!


I thought that a live camera (situated on top of the ITV tower on the Thames) was used?

Ohhh...just realised you're talking about the 'theatre of news'.

Carrie Frais is here on BBC World now, doing the Sports. She is quite good in fact.

Agree with most of you above - never understood the fascination with Katie Derham or Nina Hossain.

Nicholas Owen and Alastair Stewart are stars.

Alastair Stewart has flown out to Beirut, he'll be presenting the 6:30 and 10:30pm news from there.

Pomposity personified. At least he's miles away

Hmmm. Has a wonderfully authoritative style, but always comes across as a nice chap in chattier moments - don't think he's actually pompous.

I know what you mean, but I think it's more a style than a personality trait.

Tonight's 6.30 ITN endcap was quite alarming...a huge flash of orange light across the Beirut skyline shocked me...then came the 'ITN' logo.
Alastair-I find him pompous and because he gets little national airtime these days, he seems to make the most of what he does getg by taking on an alarmist tone and comes across as melodramatic.

Yes, he certainly can take on an alarmist tone at times which I feel he has put on, maybe he wouldn't be like that if he was presenting national bulletins a bit more.

Yeh, it's totally uneccessary and desperate.

Why can't ITV broadcast the word '****' after the watershed...Sky News have.
