I reckon Trevor won't take some time off until nearer his 'summer break' which no doubt will be mid-March until November Laughing

I noticed that the bottom of the newswall (to the right of the studio) was black, as the camera swept past it during the opening studio pan on the Evening News .

I hear Geraint's other half - Central Tonight's Sarah Jane Mee (also breakfast co-host on Heart in the West Midlands) is soon to give up her midlands jobs and join the lovely Mr Vincent in the Capital.


I had heard that she may still present on Heart FM in B'ham-- not sure if that's been confirmed?

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I have eventually realised that currently, the first advert following the ITV news is always Topps Tiles. It even says on their website that they only have three adverts on ITV a day, straight after the news.

I am the only one who thinks that's ridiculous?

Strange isn't it. I suspect they put in a bid to sponsor the weather, but when they failed were offered this option instead, though have been seriously conned considering I'm sure 99% of all viewers switch off now before having to suffer a burst of Sheila's Wheels.

It's surely a bit of a con to Shelia's Wheels too, they've paid for the exclusive sponsorship of the weather but Topps Tiles are effectively sponsoring the weather too.

Never a truer word said. If I watch News at Ten, I have the remote poised so that as soon as the ITN endcap appears, it's goodbye ITV1!

Bringing back Trevor was pointless, judging by the ratings. They could have just used Mark. I assume the budget cuts at ITN was to pay for Trevor and Julie?

Ditto.

News at Ten is excellent - great journalism, brilliant presentation, wonderful presenters, magnificent graphics - but the Sheila's Wheels sting into the weather somewhat ruins it.
