What with Geraint presenting the Evening bulltins in the week and now Lucy Owen presenting the weekend bulletins - you could be mistaken to think that the Welsh are taking over ITN Towers!

Will Lucy ever wear boots like Nina Hossain did earlier in the week!? Phwooar!

I wonder if Glyn will appear on ITV Wales News soon?

lol. It is nice to see Lucy now and again, she has a very seductive voice.


Lucy is back on ITV Wales already, she did the lunchtime bulletin today and I expect she will do Wales Tonight.

Is there any news on the planned changes for the ITV Lunchtime News? Its only 2 weeks to go until its supposed to be changing.

ITV News having to make a pretty humiliating apology tonight over showing the picture of a woman who they claimed to be arrested in the terror raids, but actually wasn't.


Never really seen an apology like that before within a news bulletin - I'm sure usually they'd be put at the end of the bulletin and done by the CA.

It's happened many times before on all channels, national and regional

Right at the beginning of the bulletin, was it?

I'm just wondering, will there be a return of a sportscaster on the News at 10.30, or is the sport just going to be read by the main anchor from now on?

I'm sure I heard ITV say that Pluto had been 'relegated from the Premier League of planets' or something equally lame in the bulletin today. Can they not do anything properly?! Very Happy

More slip of the tongs from ITV News today.

Llewella Bailey from Central News Birmingham said "now back to London for the highlights!"

And Sian Lloyd said "join me later for the Early Evening News!" despite it being the weather.

A slight slip up of your own there.

The ending was also quite rushed. James was saying goodbye as the music played in the background. A quick cut to the credits then the ITN caption.

I loved Lawrence's report on the fighter jet tonight. He was very down to earth (no pun intended).
