That's interesting - Tim Willcox appears to be in the World studio (where I've never seen him before), yet he's also on BBC News 24 in the afternoon. When was this picture taken, and what is the explanation for this?


Presumably it must have been an occasion when News 24 broadcast from the World studio - perhaps to allow maintenance at N24. The NEWS 24 tower would suggest he's not moonlighting at World. Wink


I realise that; I was just wondering what might have been the explanation for moving News 24 to the World studio, which must have been something major for it to have happened in the afternoon (since most non-urgent maintenance work would be done during the overnight simulcast) and when it happened, because I don't remember having seen that recently.

I think you could possibly expect some changes in presenters and other areas too... Wink

Jon & Louise *still* off this afternoon on N24 - is this linked?

However Rachel Schofield & Julian Warricker are good, just a little less relaxed.

I have to agree with you Moz, at first I thought both Rachel and Julian were dull and not very talented but they have developed very well and have good chemistry together. Need to look at coming across more laidback. They'd be a good replacement for Joanna Gosling and Chris Lowe in the weekend slot.

everyone seems to have overlooked one person who I think is doing a really great job and that's Kate Silverton ! She's great with Simon on the N24 slot and did a great job covering for breakfast. I'm a huge Natasha fan and I'd rate her on a parellel with her. On 24 you have to be so much more sponteneous when interviewing and linking items and she does it with ease - that was always Natasha's weak spot on breakfast - she sort of froze when not required to use the autocue and adlib. One thing's for sure the newsroom is a really catty place to be and paranoia must be rife

i agree - i like carrie too - for a long while i've been trying to figure out why she only does the mid morning slot on 24 as she's very capable - i assumed she must have childcare commitments. talking of breakfast i can't take to mishal at all - just seems a bit too posh and her laughs a bit annoying - great watching her getting bigger and bigger each week tho

Carrie used to present weekday evenings on News 24 with Gavin Esler a few years ago, after she returned as the BBC's China Correspondent. I think she had a child during the time she was based in China.

I take it that this is Anna's last week, since it's now the end of April?
