Nobody noticed who has presented breakfast bulletins the past two days, then? Shame on you all.


Is Victoria Graham the replacement for Ms Osman?

It's quite telling really, Points West can't find/keep enough 'presentable' journalists so it's having to recruit former weather presenters to front the news. Ironically, Helen Wiletts (National/World Weather) was also up for Susan's chair.

Sally Challoner's back why can't she present the news again?

How do you know she is back? Is she Reporting?
I dont know why we cant see her presenting she was excellent but PW just treated her like dirt towards the end. Also explain to me why is Amanda Parr loved by the bosses?!

Yes, she's reporting again. I've spotted her at least a couple of times in the last week or two.

God only knows. There's no logic with 'the bosses", but from what I know (I have a very reliable source in the newsroom) Amanda gets every good gig going; Like the chances to work on network pilots, special features/commissions, they've preened her with stylists, presenting coaches and given her more chances to present than any other of the 'young talents' and I hear they even remodelled the new studio set around her (even when Susan Osman was there). Given that much time and money spent, I'd be expecting far more from her.

Points West has a real shortage of presenters for Breakfast since they lost Maurice, Saima and Katharine, so Victoria Graham (who is desperate to become a news presenter) is freelancing three days a week. She's not replacing Susan Osman (that'll be Alex Lovell from Channel 5/Endemol!!)
