In which she claims she has "probably done more live television than anybody else in the world"...

Well, there certainly won't be many broadcasters in the UK, if any, who have more live time. I think the Richard Bacon interview revealed she'd been on TV for 27 years.

This might be a bit off topic, but for anyone who's interested:

Martin Stanford will be appearing on The Gadget Show next week. The show has a section from Sky News Centre testing out all the latest tablets on the market (including iPad 2).

The Gadget Show, 8pm Monday, Channel 5/HD

Nice to see Lukwesa up for NSW today. She's a brilliant, well-paced anchor but it's amazing to see how often she trips up on the autocue. Still, she's better than many people in her usual timeslot.

I've picked up on this before, which is a shame because overall she is very watchable - funny to see her teamed up with fellow overnighter Lisa Knights whose covering the sport.

And moved up the pecking order to the top of NSW this afternoon.

Won't make many friends say this, but I much prefer Lukwesa, Lisa and also Philippa over the likes of Paula, Martin, Jayne - maybe its just some younger fresher faces I like Laughing

Sky News five-a-side team is playing BBC News team this weekend. Interesting article from the Independent about Mark Kleinman's involvement in pre-match banter.

Sarah-Jane Mee is fairly getting worked hard at the moment. Was on Sunrise with Eamonn from 6am-9am, then covering the 9am-10am hour, now down to Westminster studio to do Boulton & Co from 1pm.

If that is the case, and it may well be (unless some early CNNers did more before moving on?), she should have got a bit better at it by now shouldn't she?
