Just a normal bulletin tonight with Mary, no one unusual tonight unfortunately.


And in a change from the norm, Mary didn't present ITV News London before hand. Sascha Williams did.


Yeah I thought it was a tad strange for the tea time bulletin to come from the National studio. But for some reason its an extended late bulletin tonight according to Mary...Are they aware of something happening that we aren't aware of?

American networks were running with special reports not that long ago, and I've just got a newsflash on my phone saying 'President Obama will seek authorization for the use of force in Syria from Congress - Live video"

All about the developments in Syria. Mary was probably drafted in so they could have somebody senior to present.

Didn't Mary launch the War in Iraq, so to speak.

Just watched the ITV News update at 1115 and an attractive woman was presenting who I have not seen before. Also has the 8.25 update gone now?

That was Sacha Williams from ITV London, who also done the London bulletins yesterday, and as Saturdays go it might have been Sacha presenting the Nationals but Mary was brought in...

It looks like the 8.25 headlines are no more, Ben. They last appeared last weekend, and there's no sign of them in the next few weeks.

I did expect that to be the answer to be honest. They were better at 0925 rather than 0825 but at least they lasted for twenty months which is good considering these things sometimes vanish after a while.

James Mates is scheduled for tonight there again he quite often does Sundays.

CITV should be getting an extra hour again on weekends some point this month, so is it possible the headlines could be returning to 9.25am? It would be a shame to see them go as for a 5 minute update they are very comprehensive

EDIT - I had read that the new series of Sooty would be going at 9.10am on Sundays but it seems it will go out at 7.25am, so maybe CITV isn't getting the extra hour again

9:25 was so much better as I was able to watch on +1 at 10:25 when I finally got up!

I'm guessing that Ian Payne is Natalie Pirks replacement?

It would seem so, Gary. Not much fan-fair. Usually a post on Twitter or DS. Not seen anything myself.
