Lucy Alexander is back - doing the lunchtime summary.


Notable is that every bulletin has been done by someone different today, GMTV: Owen Thomas
10.55: Jonathan Wills
12.50: Lucy Alexander
3.05: Katie Derham

it looks like they will just use whoever is on the ITV News Channel and is between on air slots.

Very Happy Katie looked stunning at the restaurant awards tonight Very Happy

I guess that's why she wasn't on the daytime bulletins today

Who did the 10.50pm? Tyne Tees gets through at least 4 presenters a day.

6pm was Jonathan Wills and Katie Derham
10.50 was Joyce Ohajah (who also does 8-9.30 and 11-12 on the News Channel)

I think they got through more presenters than usual today because Alastair was away and Katie was at the ITV London Restaurant Awards tonight, so didn't do the afternoon bulletin as she did on several days last week

Well she did the 3.05 bulletin if that's what you were referring to. When were the restaurant awards exactly?

Sorry, I meant that she didn't do the lunchtime bulletin yesterday.

Anyway, Marcus Powell did the 10.55 this morning.

Lucy Alexander did lunchtime again , but the opt was messed up a bit

They really need to get a regular daytime presenter if they want to justify the effective ''sacking'' of Paul Greene; perhaps if Lucy Alexander did the 10:55 and 12:50, with Katie doing the 3:05 every weekday then it would be ok.

Londoners (at least) just got a VT clock with EN trail Mark and Mary take 2!

Then a shot of Mark and Mary standing in the studio, then a plain ITV1 ident and apology from the announcer

And again, with Mark pointing at the videowall and saying "and it's over there for Paul Davies"

Yep - very strange goings-on!

Blatantly pre-recorded apology announcements, too.
