Unusually, one newscaster - Rageh - presented News at Ten for all five weekdays this week.

... And he's due to present on Monday too!

Still find Rageh Omar uncomfortable to watch his handling is still dire at times, although it has improved.
Stuart, GMc and Nicky gave kudos

Was that really appropriate for Tom Bradby to refer to the BBC as the 'dark side' at the end of tonight's news at ten? Or even to mention the rival at all?? Very amateur in my opinion!

That's all he's got. Totally ridiculous.

What was the context for him doing that? I didn't see it.

It was in reference to a report about ITV's new Drama Victoria; I didn't think it was that bad to be honest. It was good to see him making reference to BBC1 with "The Dark Side" and it was just banter.

Maybe he was making a joke but didn't realise that ITV hasn't used this slogan in years:

He was mentioning the amount of drama he would have to watch in the Autumn. He said he would have to watch Poldark on catch-up.

Definitely one to watch, nice to see he's been chosen over Julie, Rageh and Nina for a change.

With the holiday season in England, it may be a case of none of the above available...
