I personally find Myleene easier on the eye but Christine is a decent enough presenter.
Talking of The One Show, any more details on this studio move sometime in the current run that was mentioned on here a few months back?
Nice to see the One Show taking a contribution from the Look North Newcastle studio rather than the usual newsroom cameras. A bit like Nationwide
Yes, but more difficult for The One Show to have arranged with Newcastle no doubt! Remember that the Newsroom Cameras were designed principally for News 24 to get reporters/guests on air from regional centres without having to pay for studio and staff bookings. The original 'cameras' (actually, they are shortish bays with a camera and a soft-light on top of them, plus usually a tape feed facility and various comms bits and pieces) were designed to be easy to operate with minimal training. Setting up a studio for a down-the-line guest (as opposed to a regional opt transmission) requires at least some gallery staff and a reasonable amount of technical know-how. AFAIK, only Tunbridge Wells routinely use their studio for down-the-lines for other centres because they don't actually have a newsroom camera.
I see BBC One is running at least 20 minutes late tonight due to the extra time in the Middlesbrough v Sheffield United game. Still no score at the end of the half of extra time so it's still got a bit to go.
First time I've seen the Sky EPG on the channel to say 'Further schedule information is not available'. Oh, and I notice 'BBC London News' is also appearing in the BBC One Scotland EPG too. Just a random observation or two...
Don't know if the 10 O'Clock News was simulcast on News 24 wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't. The autocue must have broke down did anyone notice George Allagyre (sp??) looking down at his script.

I suspect it was only done because it immediately followed the regional opt, so just required gallery staff hanging around for a bit longer.
