I really liked it as well although with hinsdsight I think it would have been better to putthe am team on pm as they had the more experience when it came to breaking news etc.

Completely uninteresting point, but on the daily email from Kay, its header has returned mistakingly to Lunchtime Live, but the other thing is that it now says 'Today on the Kay Burley show'...rather than using the Afternoon Live brand...

Well it's signed 'See ya KayB' so if that's not her it must be some sick euphemism for torture.

It was rather disturbing turning on Sky News, and seeing that! Mr Dixon obviously enjoyed it.

I see the channel is taking it's 'news' remit seriously again lol.

The best bit was at the end of the clip where Steve Dixon reads the top stories with them in the background.

It's good to see a bit of light hearted stuff on Sky News now and again. It shows the channel still has it's personality and sense of humour.

Those cheerleaders remind me of the old Sky Sports days when they tried to 'tart up' a football match at half time.

Yeah i completley agree,although why was Steve Dixon presenting? Lets hope Andrew Wilson has been droppped,i have nothing against him and he is a great reporter but he is very dull as a presenter in my opinion.

Why not keep it to Sky Sports then...I thought news channel were not into certain forms of entertainment? Will we have The Sun's Page 3 newsreader hour and the Keeley Interviews World Leaders Hour next? Hey why not have a Sky News version of Debbie Does Dallas? We could have Burley Bonks Brum instead of Afternoon Live Laughing Laughing

Sky News went down the pan ages ago - this latest 'feature' confirms my thoughts Exclamation Exclamation

You have to admit, it was comedy seeing that on Sky News. No other news channel would do it would they?!

It reminds me of the Sky News Today back in 2005, where Ginny, Mark and Steve made paper aeroplanes and flew them across the newsroom.
