The rumour at ITN's headquarters in Gray's Inn Road is that Alastair Stewart, the newscaster, is the bosses' choice to anchor the next general election. Jonathan Dimbleby has anchored every election for the station since 1997, but, as one insider put it, Alastair is "now at the top of his game".

Stewart is honing his inquisitorial skills presenting a new ethics programme, The Moral of the Story. The programme launches tomorrow night, and, as a panellist on it, I can vouch for Stewart's unfaltering professionalism — and wit.

Technical glitches added an hour to the recording of the first programme in the series. When the novelist Dave Hill, who took part in the second programme, said he was worried about missing his daughter's school Christmas disco, Stewart quipped: "The way things are going, you may miss Christmas altogether."

The blue snowflakes were better, they should have used them all day rather than those green ones

Well we've just got a black screen with no sound at the end of the sports results in the News. Then cut back with Steve continuing to read - whatever he was saying.

They could have added light blue baubles and yellow ones (match the colour scheme) and maybe brighten up the christmas tree.

How has ITV News been opening over the last few nights - tonight they began with the middle part of the titles (around the clockface), putting an ITV News logo over the end of it and then going straight into the news with the music fading out in the background.

Usually on bulletins without headlines don't they just use the end part of the titles with the logo forming up.

Personally I'd begin as normal with the first bong and main headline, then cut straight to the end, missing out the main part of the titles and the other headlines.


I'm sure it's been answered already, but is it Nicholas Owen's last day today?
