I am not at home so does anyone have any caps of the special titles?


You can currently see them on the video stream of last night's programme on the BBC Points West Homepage.


As in France the video is tiny, please can someone cap?

Thanks,

HI,

Points West have 2 people at Breakfast - Editor and Presenter.

I am not at home so does anyone have any caps of the special titles?

Thanks,

I assume you mean director and presenter. AFAIK they haven't had a morning editor for donkeys years.

Even if unsure, they can just run with "we're getting reports of the pier being on fire", and then correct themselves if the reports turn out to be a false alarm.

I heard an unconfirmed rumour that Harold Pinter has died.

GMTV had beaten them to it too! It was 7:10ish when John Stapleton said "A bit of breaking news now, the grand pier at Weston Super-Mare has caught fire" juat before the dog and the adder story.
