I think the way they treated Dickie Bird about 25 minutes ago was a bit harsh - they had him on discussing England discipline and it then came through that Bob Woolmer had died and they broke the news to him as part of the interview. He had tears in his eyes and was clearly upset. The presenter apologised afterwards and said that "the whole of Sky News offer you condolences". I think the interview was rushed without much thinking...
As Gordon Brown and David Cameron square up to each other as candidates for the premiership, Sky News' six hour Budget 2007 Special this Wednesday (from 1100 to 1700) examines the policies that could form part of the next Prime Minister's manifesto.
At the Sky News Centre, in West London, Political Editor, Adam Boulton, hosts a panel of senior politicians - including David Blunkett, Iain Duncan Smith and Charles Kennedy - examining the political significance of the Budget - 10 years into Labour's rule - in which funding for the NHS and climate change taxes are likely to feature prominently. Presenter Anna Jones is joined by personal finance experts, Roddy Kohn and Donna Bradshaw, to answer viewers' email queries about how the Budget will affect the pound in their pocket.
In the City, Business Editor, Michael Wilson, is joined at Barclays by senior economists who will look at the legacy of Gordon Brown as he unveils his last Budget.
In Westminster village, Presenter Kay Burley tests the latest reaction and is joined by political cartoonist Andy Davey, bookies and pollsters, who will give odds on the Chancellor's performance - and, at 3.15pm, by Rik Mayall as Alan Beresford B'stard MP. And Reporter Emma Birchley returns to Sky News' adopted green town, Lutterworth, to see how people there - particularly the Riley family - feel they will be affected by any green measures introduced in the Budget, and advocated by the two politicians.
And finally, Presenter Martin Stanford hosts the Gordon Brown leaving party in a Virtual Treasury filled with all the latest graphic gizmos.
