Steve's been presenting The West Tonight this week.

Everyone else seems to be on holiday at the same time - Mark, Mary, Katie and Nina had a day off today.

I'm surprised noone picked up on the start of the Sunday lunchtime bulletin. The ITV symbol came up... then an announcement that they couldn't go to the news. Another badly handled, mumbled apology... really it was crap... then the news eventually started. Steve Scott was out of breath, sweaty and his hair was all a mess... Someone forget that they had a summary to do?

We got the ITV1 logo as well, before cutting to the stv logo, with no apology (what a surprise).

How can you get an apology when there is no live announcer until late afternoon?

I've just had a look on the ITV News MPs website and he looks perfectly normal to me
