The Ten O'Clock News Hour on BBC News 24

Good grief I know the BBC are cutting back, but why own the piece of kit if no one knows how to use it, look when the staff went on strike, the senior executives managed to control TOG, now if they can, then I'm pretty sure these guys can too!

Barely.

Yes at least it was on screen , but seriously if TOG is used, they should use it, I am sure it won't crash on simple name astons setup, the titles can have the main headlines added to them.

Is it because Tigers are quite hard to come by at the moment? Jamie Oliver tells me they're not in season right now.

Potential problem with the News Hour simulcast tonight . . .

BBC1 is showing the Chelsea v Everton replay live, which kicks off at 8.05pm. Even without allowing for the possibility for extra time and/or penalties, an 8.05pm kick-off has the potential to over-run slightly past 10pm. Its happened before, however BBC1 has never had N24 to think about before.

So if the Ten was slightly delayed, would we see Tim fill for a few minutes, or would they just play out a few ads/promos?

In any case, the Beeb wont be hanging around for too much post-match analysis!

I assume that the 9 O'Clock team have been briefed about this and will hang around for a bit longer if necessary - however, Chelsea, at home to Everton, surely not?!!!

Looks like they've squeezed it in and are overflowing the footy post mortem onto interactive.

Countdown played out at about 22:02!!!

Worked out nicely. Weather ran through the TOTH. Didnt expect a countdown though!

So is Tim permanently on the 10.30pm-1am shift now then? Has Peter Dobbie been given the axe?

Peter Dobbie has been seen on BBC World.

Tim's only doing it for the first couple of weeks whilst Peter is on holiday...
