A new face presenting this afternoons summary, Andrea Benfield.
I've not seen her presenting or reporting for them before is she freelance or from one of the regions?


She is from Wales, I assume she is just covering for this weekend only as a one off... the usual Sunday presenters, Charlene White, James Mates and Alex Hyndman (But shes getting maried).
And Andrea is back at 6.45... I wonder if they have got a voiceover for her??

It seems Lucy Meacock has fell out of favour since the Nov 09 relaunch.


Its bank holiday weekend and Alex's wedding, so there is every chance everyone is either off for the weekend by contract or away at Alex's wedding.

Interesting - I was thinking that this evening bulletins would both open with the summary titles if a voiceover was not available. Was Ms. Benfield's debut on national news planned or is it a last-minute change, I wonder?

Great to see a presenter from ITV Wales on the national news once again. I wonder why Lucy from Granada Reports doesn't do any national news anymore? Was it before the November relaunch that she last appeared??
