Janye Secker on the late shift.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Steve Dixon on as usual and Janye on the 2pm to 5pm shift!


I hope Jayne Secker becomes a pernament fixture on the evening shift and hope Stephen Dixon gets pushed into the Weekend Afternoon slot out of the way!

I think Mr Dixon would be much better suited to BBC News Channel!

Are you not keen on our Steve? He's a favourite in our household!! (We like Jayne too).

Dermot was on ITV2 last night for Britains got more talent


No, it was Thursday night's episode of BGMT.
Friday's insert was a pre-record.

Who did Weekend Lunchtime then if Jayne was on News at 10

Anyway Stephen doing NSW makes sense now since he did News at 10 Friday, so probably wanted a shift that didn't start too early Saturday but didn't finish too late either

Why is there a keyboard in front of the presenter in the Westminster studio, when there's no obvious screen or anything?

Weekend Lunchtime as its happily named was done by Stephen Dixon. I think he done that shift instead of probably 5-Midnight, because having Dermot in, they would have wanted him in the high profile slot.

So because of the messy Sky Schedule we have, we are getting presenters doing 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours and even 5 hour shifts. Instead of padding them out equally throughout the day for example 3 hours each with the same number of presenters.

All because someone wants each hour to be branded differently.

Stephen usually does News at 10 on Friday. Wink

Probably hidden underneath the desk as they usually are in TV news studios.

Slightly different end to Sunrise today. Lucy did the final weather forecast from the sofa at 54 minutes past the hour, with Sunrise finishing at 56 minutes past the hour
