Andrew Wilson doing Sunrise today with Gillian Joseph

How many years has Kay done it for?

Gamal was on Midnight News and News on the Hour this morning.

Ahh at last, a Christmas morning without Kay Burley in my home, joy to the world...!

Aha, so that's who Gamal Fahnabullah is then. I saw the fellow doing the overnight news and thought he was rather bloody good. I thought to myself, "I wonder who he is? It can't be that Gamal fellow they're always referring to, as he is reported as being dire."

However, from what I saw overnight, he is very good indeed. And hot too.

I don't believe everyone was slating Gamal, it was some stand-in they were slating.

The anchors for overnight is now:
Main - Philippa Tomson
Deputies - Paula Middlehurst and Hannah Tallett
Relief - Gamal Fanbulleh
Breaking/Interactive News - Martin Stanford

Probably Karim Gohary.

You're right, Martin. My mistake. Mixed up the names.

And considering I live in Arabia where those names come from, I ought to know better.

Anyway, Gamal is very good indeed, as I've mentioned relentlessly.

Gamal is indeed very good.

Karim Gohary must be the weakest presenter I've ever seen on Sky..

Apologies presenter & presentation

Phillapa tomson presenting tonight but only at 12. CBS at :30 Our Diamond Queen at 01:00-02:00 then 02:00 - :30 and 03:00- :30 and 04:00 - :30 then Sunrise starts at 06:00. Is this the least amount of overnight presenting?

Could you have explained that any less clearly? I've just sat and watched a bulletin, and there's another one at 3, 4 and 5....?!

Well yes if you want me to
