Wow! Gavin Grey on for the sixth hour now! Looking on Twitter, he seems to be quite a success!


Indeed - he is the new Tim Willcox with his super-shift!


Joining the relms of Peter Dobbie as well. Wink

At least Tim would take the odd break here and then - I remember one Friday he did 8.30-11, 2-5, 5-6, World News Today and 10.25-1!

Still, Gavin very much alive and awake. some good interviewing questions and good clear voice - which is superb for someone who was probably up at about 3am.

Michael White on the same screen as Gavin Grey just now.

I was hoping they'd discuss the Black hole that Rupert Murdoch is in, but no such luck!

Sue Thearle on her own now - so either Gavin has left, or he's gone to prepare for the One. I suspect he's gone and Sue Thearle will do the One.

Superb coverage from BBC World. Adnan and Aaron did most of it, a lot of guests, some very interesting like the former NOW reporter who seems to hate Brooks. Adnan did really well, he should make the sport ---)news switch permanently.

Sue Thearle stood up there to hand over to the weather so definitely not Sue doing the 1

What a mega shift that bloke is doing.

I wonder if Chris Rodgers is on standby for the rest of the day? Very Happy

On the radio:

BBC Lincolnshire had a normal-ish Breakfast show with the usual presenter Rod Whiting
BBC Leeds had Sally Fairfax doing a slightly air headed Breakfast show at Quarry Hill
