Tonight was Felicity's last bulletin with ITV News.


Ah that explains why Mark name-checked her during his signoff. I'd missed the sports news segment and just tuned in again during Granada News.

I also wonder if the News at 10.30 will be rebranded the Nightly News. The change in name could have been postponed until Felicity had left, whats the logic in relaunching a programme with one of the presenters leaving a few weeks later.


You could just a easily argue that it would be pointless delaying the 'relaunch' of a programme just because one of the presenters is leaving a few weeks later! Remember that John Suchet only had a few weeks in the new set from February 2004 before his retirement?

I'm sure I just saw Mary crouching, almost as if she were to relieve herself, just before the bulletin ended...

Well Mark said something like sort yourself out to her.

During the top stories i think it was Mary sneezed. Then at the end Mark said sort your cough out. I presume she was crouching to get water, as ther may have been water under the desk for her to drink.

Also i seen in The Sun today in the TV Biz section it was talking about yesterdays Lunchtime News antics, with baby Joshua in the studio !

It's a shame to see Felicity leave - I wonder who will take over as the main sports presenter?

I doubt it is Steve, as he seems to be Nicholas's and Mark's main understudy.

Yes although James Mates also stands in a lot for Mark.

It will be Lisa; I highly doubt she would be newly brought in for a couple of weeks in Felicity's absence when people like Stece Scott, Willsy, or even Romilly Weeks could have filled in instead. I guess Lisa was moved to Gray's Inn Road as soon as the news of Felicity's leave was received.

So Nina is presenting the sport tonight. This was unexpected, i wonder if it would be permanent as it would give her a more permanent role at itv News.

James Mates is only the stand in for the News at 10.30, where as Steve is the stand in for the evening news.
