Gamal is back on the Friday afternoon shift today.

I assumed Sarah was back to it permanently after last week but maybe not.

He's probably just cover

The reason I ask is the last week or two he was still on the EPG as being the host - even though technically he was supposed to be maternity cover for Sarah and she was back last week.

One point - don't trust the epg with Sky News

Still no Anna Botting tonight, must be around three weeks now.

Hopefully she's back soon.

For this week, possibly. Anna Jones has been doing a lot more than her Friday-Sunday evening shifts recently, so I'm assuming we won't see her for a couple of weeks now.

Perhaps they'll do what they did last week, with Gamal back doing the 15:00-19:00 shift on Friday and Sarah covering Anna Jones' 21:00-00:00 shift.

As for Anna Botting, she's been absent for several weeks, but normally she is doing Mon-Wed and alternate Thursdays from what I have seen - it's good to have her back as she's probably the best at the Press Preview, even if Anna Jones is a more than capable replacement.

I've certainly missed her doing the papers with Andrew and Kevin over the last few weeks; I'm thoroughly looking forward to next Monday night!

Aside from Anna Botting and Anna Jones, I think Stephen Dixon is rather good on the Press Preview when he provides cover (most probably down to his experience on the Paper Review on Sunrise). Anyway, I digress.

Just because a presenter has been on holiday or something, it doesn’t mean that the rota is changing. I remember a few months ago Jayne Secker went on a ‘digital detox’
