Faces come and faces go..........within the individual threads, we are often enquiring about the whereabouts of faces who have just disappeared from the newsrooms. I thought I would create a place where we could collectively find out who has gone where!

In my case, several sudden departures - where are they now?

Valerie Sanderson - News 24
Lucy Hockings - BBC World
Loiuse Tait - BBC Reporting Scotland 90's
Loiuse Welsh - ditto
Cathy MacDonald - ditto
Peter Coe - BBC News 24 and BBC World
George Eykyn - ditto

North West Tonight did a nice little feature specific to them about this a while ago:

Valerie Sanderson is on the World Service quite a lot, considering her husband is Mr Humphries of early-morning bad-tempered fame they're probably not short of dosh...George Eykyn works for a company and has been on TV in this capacity but I can't remember where.

Didn't Louise Tait marry and become Louise Batchelor?

In which case she's still a correspondent, and by happy coincidence is also the aunty of someone I went to drama school with. He's a very good dancer you know. He played somebody or other in Cats for a long time.

But I digress...

Peter Coe left the BBC to run a company, IIRC. I can't find anything relating to him via Google, though.

A few presenters I'm wondering about:

Stefanie Callister - News 24 c.2002
Keshini Navaratnam - BBC World
Nici Marx - BBC World
Brenda Paterson - News 24 late 1990s, early 2000s
Jon Andrew - News 24, political correspondent, relief presenter
Jane Dutton - BBC World, CNN
Jon Nicholson - BBC Breakfast News, News 24
John Terret - BBC World, business news
Jayne Sinclair - BBC World, business news

All of those people just seem to have disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Yes, like ginnyfan said, Jane Dutton is one of the permanent presenters at the Doha broadcast centre:
