I don't know how long this has been the case but Owen Thomas has updated his website, he is no longer 'A presenter on the ITV News Channel' what with it closing down years ago

There's a new showreel as well

www.owenthomas.tv

It's his own website? How much more self-promoting can he be? I guess if he doesn't have an agent, though, this would be his only way of making deals.

Far better than being on an agency website which no doubt many non-household names are. You've got to get yourself noticed in this industry and having your showreeel online is a good start -employment situations can change pretty quickly especially if you are freelance.

Mark and Nina were having a bit of banter after Nina interupted Mark's intro to the Tour de France piece!!! Laughing Ending in... "And Mark will be back ON HIS OWN with that" (the 10.30!).

Nina interupted Mark's intro to the piece, so after she'd next finished speaking he said something like "see I didn't interupt you!'. Then he did the 'later at 10.30' bit and she said he'd be back on his own, basically because he'd taken the piss out of her for messing up. Laughing

I saw that- i couldn't tell if it was friendly banter or if they were being serious.

Hmmm just sounds like the incredibly dumbed down and simplistic news provider ITV has now become.

God forbid they should ever show themselves to be human, or have a sense of humour. Had they just ignored it and talked over one another it might well have looked stilted and uncomfortable - then we'd be sat here discussing how ITV presenters hated each other Laughing

The autoque failed at the end of tonights 10:30 and the newswall papers failed to appear too so mark had to say something like i cant find the other papers as he was shuffling his papers in his hands. I would have thought they would be in order afterall they are always messing with them at the desk.
