Sorry guys. I just thought it was worth posting, as I have never seen so many anchors / presenters / correspondents / peripheral correspondents all wearing black on the same day before. Sorry if I have wasted everyone's time. It wasn't my intention.

Whatever it turns out to be..............

Well TOny Benn was admited to hospital during the Labour conference, but never heard any more about it, so I assume he recovered.


Yes, he was given a pacemaker

Of course it could be the Pope.... oh, no hang on a sec....


Ah, but remember Pope John Paul I - he didn't last long, did he? So, you never know... Pope Whatsit is getting on a bit himself, after all.


He's just been elected! Anyway he's holding Conclave as we speak. This is not Vatican city related.

Has there been a thread like this in the past where it has been noticed that news presenters are all wearing black clothing? Like other people have said it is more noticable on the women as the men only really need to change their ties.

Not to my knowledge.

It wont be vatican.

We noticed before that American anchors are not in different dress. So if anything has happened, it will be Britain-oriented.

Maybe the Vatican has done a JP1 on him

Wouldn't Sky have sent Jeremy Thompson to anchor from location if this was something big? He was presenting until 8 I think.

If it's London centered, he will still be there in minutes (Jeremy Thompson)

just managed to catch a bit of five news update. Kirsty was still in black but did say that the next news was at 11.30 tomorrow morning. If they did know of a breaking story would that have been said?

I don't think this is a false alarm, because Jeff Stelling, presenting live Championship football on Sky Sports is also in black.
