where has samantha simmonds gone? she seems to of disappeared these last few weeks. surprised she hasn't had a role today.

Either last Tuesday or the one before IIRC she did the 1st Live Desk but not the 2nd one which was unusual

Other than that she covered on Weekend Lunchtime a couple of weeks ago and popped up on Sky News at 10 one Friday.

Katie Stallard was hilarious this morning creeping further and further towards the red carpet, knocking the barrier over several times and irritating security. I thought she was going to get kicked out! Laughing


Any caps?

Did Sky News' reporter in Los Angeles just refer to Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (sic) as simply "Inglorious"? What a bizarre case of censorship (on a news channel no less). Confused


Actually, Inglorious was the name it was released under in the UK. The word "Basterds" was censored by the BBFC if memory serves.


No it wasn't; http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/0/5E3584C487D9BF4380257600004D2999?OpenDocument

Anna Jones doing a great job on Live at 5. I wouldn't mind her getting the job when Jeremy retires.

Nice opening shot too, very creative. It's like 2005 again! Laughing

Why? You know what Sky News looks like, you know what women look like.

I'd imagine.

I've recorded a few, I'll try and upload them later.

Whilst it's good to see the EPG being updated, whoever's putting in the names can't spell! SkyNews.com was supposedly presented by "Sara Hughes", and now "Darshini David" on Jeff Randall Live. Earlier on there was a programme called "Sky News at Six Anna Jones".

Sky.com News was listed on the EPG it should be Skynews.com

Also, I have it on good authority that on 19th November (International Mens Day) it will be male presenters only *and* only male reporters too!

Tessa Chapman on the 8 - 10 shift if anyone cares, never seen her before so I assume she's a freelancer?

Long day for Francis Wilson then unless Sky sign another male weather presenter in the next 8 months!

Since it's a Friday, the only slots which will be anchored by a male that aren't normally anyway will be Afternoon Live and the evening NSW.
