I noticed he was also on the ITV News Channel about half an hour before he was on ITV1, I take it he was also reporting for London Tonight?

I take it the whole Asian Earthquake has made the headlines in alot of regions, as it was the Top Story on the BBC and ITV in the North West.

She appears quite often on the weekday daytime bulletins - particularly the mid-morning one - but also the lunchtime bulletin maybe once or twice a fortnight.

I got quite a shock when I saw her pop up just now! I remember when she used to co-present TVS's Coast to Coast with Mike Debens from Maidstone.

Ben Scotchbrook (ex Five News) seems to have replaced Keir Simmons as London life correspondent.

Has Keir been promoted full-time to the national news?

And who was the reporter in Phuket who did the lead package? He was familiar (also ex-Five?) but I didn't catch the name.

No - I only saw the end of the package, but he was on a boat.
