Well he was with the cows at Freightliners City Farm in Islington. As I suspected, they meant naturalist not naturist.
Two other quibbles with tonight's London Tonight:
- Simon Harris was outside the wrong Edgware Road station - the Bakerloo line one which is the other side of the flyover from the one where the bomb was. Though in fairness I suppose it's probably difficult to get near the other station.
- Glen Goodman was on the wrong type of train - the newspaper reports about the air conditioning packing up when it gets too hot referred to the Wessex Electrics used on the Weymouth line, but Glen was on a diesel unit used on the Exeter line. A bit of an anoraky observation, but still...

Just watched London Today then and noticed a few things....
What is their priorities on News stories? They have an interview with a couple of actors involved with a West End play, then the next story is about a man caught Urinating and pouring it into a water tank, who was caught and fined by Trading standards. Then it goes to London Today's Missing Persons thing. Really shouldn't the Entertainment story be the last?
The Weather, does it actually come from the London Today studio or is Chrissie very fast at running? First she's in the LT studio then to the normal Weather studio, but with the sponsor in between (or for me the ITV NC Breakfiller), is it the same studio?
Also something that might interest many on here (including yours truly) is that if you're aged between 16 and 21 (I think) then ITV London are doing something that involves people who want a look behind the scenes at ITV and can speak to key people at ITV. More here....

Indeed, he was on Class 159 South West Turbo bound for Salisbury & Exeter, whereas the correct train would have been a Class 442 Wessex Electric . Which I presume he meant, he could have meant the new Class 444 & Class 450 Siemens Desiro units now being used... although they are mainly used on the Portsmouth & Wareham - Brockenhurst diagrams.

I sincerely hope ITN never let Glen Goodman, Liz Wickham or (especially) Estelle Matthews (who read today) in close proximity to the London Today studios again. They have been terrible newsreaders on the 10.55 summary - I wish the anchor for the 13.10 bulletin would also front at 11am rather than racking in all the reporters.

Lol, I'm not a trainspotter, I enjoy playing with Trainz Railway Simulator 2004 and have picked up most of the Class *** stuff from there.
I also live on the Weymouth - Waterloo line so I know about what trains do what tasks...
