Martin Standford at midnight tonight. Does he often/ ever before done an overnight? Is it because of hurricane sandy they want someone a little more senior than a reporter?
Yes, the last time during the Libya uprising and the japan tsunami.
Long day for Jayne Secker, she did Boulton and Co from Westminster at 1pm to 2pm afrom the Studio and Adam and Andrew in the US, and as well as doing 5-7pm will also do the 7-9pm shift from Osterley.
I've never saw them. I know Hannah Tallett was originally Active and does it occasionally now, but I have never saw Philippa or Gemma cover, there are five presenters for Active that have a voiceover, which I guess means they are the actual team and not cover, the five are Philippa Hall, Gemma Morris, Martin Stanford, Hannah Tallett and I cant remember the last person. People like Richard Suchet, Jannat Jalil, Andrew Wilson and Mark Longhurst and Philippa Tomson have also covered recently, along with others.
First time today I've seen Mark Stone as China Correspondent, from Beijing.

It's lovely that Joel Hills wants to do his bit for charity as I assume he is taking part in Movember this month, but would it not be best for him to take a seat offscreen until he can tidy himself up. His untidy hair makes him look shaggy enough without facial hair which makes him look very creepy.
Thought it might be worth mentioning that Simon Newton (ex-Sky News) was reading the afternoon headlines on BBC Look East this afternoon.
He's been with BBC Look East for a few weeks now in the Norwich newsroom. Sometimes presents the regional part of the 90 second bulletin and the late update.
