Sounds like it could be an all-male lineup on LT this evening - Alastair Stewart and Jonathan Wills


What gave you that idea?? I tuned in and it was the usual, Katie& Alastair.

I saw tonight's LT on the NC at 10.50pm, a very London Tonight story, about barbeques. (sp??) Suprisingly without Keir Simmons!

I notice that Jonathan Wills put on a tie and jacket during the break between Soccer Sunday and London Tonight

I assume that Soccer Sunday is live?

Yes. Well I've always assumed that to be the case.

I wouldn't say London Tonight is the worst programme in the world ever. It may not be as good as it used to be but it's better than BBC London News. (In the three or four times I have seen it anyway)

I wouldn't call it The Worst Programme Ever, but it's a joke to call it a News programme and it being an ITN Production! From what I have seen it is nowhere near as good as the old LT, I know they're trying to make the News more modern and they're trying to make it like a City TV station, but they're getting it horribly wrong, it needs to be renamed to Consumer Affairs in London Tonight, as that is what it is in plain English.

The sad thing is our friends on the Channel Islands can do far better on a shoestring budget.

It's not thr worst programe ever in the world - have you seen HTV Wales lately ?
All I would say is that they used to have some bloke who did their showbiz coverage before Tamsin Outhwaite - Ken Rees I think his name was.
To me he always seemed on the ball - a bit of a langer at the time but he would inevitably take the piss out of the Hollywood stars he was interviewing.
Here in Wales the nearest we have to a Hollywood star is Katherine Zeta Bloody Jones.

Slightly botched start to Thursday's programme, with a VT clock and the wrong titles:

Calendar may have had rowdy youths throwing eggs, but London Tonight had hilarious scenes of rowdy pensioners at a mayoral hustings:
