No second paper review at 11.30pm for some reason on the news channel, instead a victoria derbyshire week in review was played back. During the 11.30 weather bulletin, the ticker was up the whole time. Then there was presumably a pre-recorded weather bulletin at midnight which glitched and jumped to the weatherpresenter blue screen (first time i’ve seen that for a weather bulletin in a long long time).

If it was the "Loading Playlist..." screen, that did appear once (or more) earlier in the day as well.

The only reasons I can think of for there not being a second paper review suddenly are either one of the reviewers feeling unwell and having to go home, or technical problems with Studio E. I'm probably wrong but it's worth a guess.

If a contributor hard work, or difficult, to produce, they won't be a regular booking.


Some people must just be obnoxious when on screen then 😎


Are some viewers misogynistic ?


Yes, just as some viewers will be misandrist.

Ben Thompson did the business segments on the news channel during Newsroom Live and most of Afternoon Live but was replaced by Leigh Milner for the last segment of the shift at 16:45, anyone know why? Just curious

Possibly shadowing Ben today and was given a bulletin to play with.

With Victoria Fritz now on maternity leave, cover in the form of Leigh would be welcome.

Looking at her Twitter it looks like they were testing her out.

To be honest there is now almost as many business presenters as sports presenters despite only needing one a day 5 days a week.

Do the Breaking News sting and Breaking News screen/catwalk graphics not exist anymore?

Haven't seen them used since Reith appeared.

Not sure about the catwalk graphics, but I did catch the sting yesterday.

Yes, I remember them being used on Christmas Eve with Clive Myrie (Catwalk Graphics) following breaking news of a man and his daughter drowning on holiday. I might be able to find a video.

Have only just realised that now the intro to the Ten has been shortened, that this is the first time since May 1999 that the 3 main bulletins haven't shared the same titles.
