Oh dear. ITV Westcountry didn't go to plan at 615 this morning. With Alex Wood Very Happy

Cut from London to see the chap literally getting ready- a few frantic words with gallery " why is my camera on!" with no sound. Twice Very Happy Then it appears just as the sound tries to come on that the autocue is going to work. Chap then runs off camera grabs the written script and hurriedly starts.

All fairly comical- perhaps the slow GMB sting music caught them out in Bristol this morning

Oops! Wrong announcement just played into the 10 in the South West introducing George Alagiah but it’s Sophie Raworth presenting tonight. It was hastily faded out when they realised it was the wrong pre-rec’d announcement!

As mentioned over on the Anglia thread, Jonathan Wills is moving from ITV Anglia to ITV Channel Islands to replace James Webster on the evening bulletin.



Will be a shame to see James go as have enjoyed his on-screen pairings whether with Emma or Jess.

Russell Hookey too seems to have started appearing on the Channel Islands bulletins in recent weeks.

I am sure Russell Hookey was at Channel previously? Then he moved onto Border in Carlisle.

Jonathan Wills is an excellent presenter and has the gravitas to continue the excellent work at ITV News Channel TV.
