He cocked up every report, by getting a word wrong.
Bless him, he was shy!

Who did breakfast this morning? Is Bowen just filling in at the last minute or is the supposed to be here?

Strange watching him there! The other day Huw did the one while Anna was in court, maybe it was a last minute thing this morning and he's still there from doing breakfast?! You would have thought they'd get whoever is doing the six tonight...

I don't really think Jeremy - bless him - is cut out for presenting the news or Breakfast. His good in war zones, but can't read an autocue for nuts.

What I want to know is what was the announcement you got beforehand??

Surely they don't have 'Bowen and x' combinations! I didn't see the South-East clock but I assume it was a network announcement and SE clock?

Cheers, Asa.

Aah, I thought old Jez was quite good. He did sound a bit fake at the end though, as if he was reading straight off a script (which he was of course, but the other presenters usually make it sound improvised if you know what I mean!)

The announcement we got seemed sort of cropped - it finished about 5secs early - it was 'and now at one o'clock the news in the the south east' - with the nice man's v/o

bowen is good on breakfast - and they read autocues on that - but bearing he's been up since about 4am this morning, he did pretty well - esp since its his first 1o'c bulletin (i think), and he isn't used to the production team

Talking of v/o combinations - on BBC1 Dsat we quite often get the link 'Huw Edwards and Gwennan Edwards' into the 6

And in Wales we often get...

'This is BBC One Wales....

...Now at Six O' Clock the news with Huw Edwards, and Sara Edwards'

*tick-tock-tick...*

Although to be fair, DSat emphasise 'Gwennan' to show they are not married in any way (if you know what I mean).

Now the BBC News with Huw Edwards and Gwennan Edwards...
