How did Scotts show end?

Anything special mentioned with Alasdair...?

Scott just said his short stay at the News Channel had been a pleasure and "I'll see you around somewhere" and wished everyone a merry Christmas.

Alastair simply mentioned what will be coming up on "what, I'm afraid, will be our last programme"

A very sad day for broadcasting news, yet I'm glad to see a laidback atmosphere this morning. Somewhat ironic that the ITV News Channel's closure is confirmed as soon as a real strong breakfast team to rival any other cmes along - as has been proven today.

Scott's been talking to the producers, and Alastair's made various references, and real experimenting today; for example, a nice swooping shot around the back of the desk just now.

Maybe Alasdair will have something special at the end of his show - I think that will be the 'real' end of the news channel.

Can we have some nice caps?

From what Scott said at the end of his programme, it doesn't look as if he will be aired on ITV2/3/4 after all.

I doubt that scheduling would have been decided yet.

i agree, what a fabulous day of tv the nc are bringing us today, its really nice to see. Scott's style really fitted in well this morning and i think its sad that this style is only being 'experimented' with today on the last day. I liked that sweeping shot just now too. I nearly choked on my ready brek watching Scott and that dishy showbiz bloke with Freddie Flitntoff's eyes on that newspaper. Don't think we'd get that over on n24 would we? A decent REAL set and less repetition throughout the day and I think today's style would go down really well, perhaps that's what we'll see with their new 'tie-less' news? who can say!

has a weather presenter ever been called delicious by the show's anchor before? Alastair's just handed over to the 'delicious Becky Mantin'! this gets better and better! they're really having a laugh today, good on 'em!

No sound on Alistair's TOTH for about half a minute there, we also got switched to the side camera with Nick at the newswall.
