Yes but 'Thompsett the Giant' is so 'branded'. Rolling Eyes Laughing

Also, aside from Meridian.... I was shocked to see a reporter on BBC South East Today trying to hold herself back from laughing during a serious murder enquiry story on the 6.30 bulletin tonight. Don't know what happened there but it was a bit uncalled for. Confused

On South East Today news as well Bev Thompson will be off the programme for at least a month because she said she was going into hospital.

"Branded" - nonsense - you must be talking out of your *?!*?!
He has a wealth of experience - Sky News - LWT - TVS - and a whole host of **** channels.
As for laughing during a murder story - it's a punishable offence - take that reporter to the gallows and off with the head!!!!

Well, she tried to hide it but when the camera cut away to the newsreader she obviously forgot you could still see her on the newsroom plasma! Rolling Eyes

Dodgy start on yesterdays Meridian Tonight SE...

They had obviously recorded the headline bed again to include some breaking news - unfortunately it wasn't edited in time and we were left with a shaky camera and Phil and Charlotte reading scripts until eventually the direct feed cut in! Laughing

Not to mention the other numerous errors in yesterday's programme. No sound on the ITV News headline opt out.

But the BIG question is: Did you lose any sleep over it????
My guess is probably not.

The other BIG question is: Do you realise this is a presentation forum? My guess is you probably do, but it hasn't quite sunk in.

After seeing her name strap,for a brief moment I was wondering whether this actually was her name (!), but then concluded that it obviously wasn't and this instead must have been the default text.
Who is this woman?

This is Juilette Fletcher. I've seen this happen before on Meridian Tonight with the captions, but it said "HEADLINE GOES HERE".
