I've finally got to see Lucy Hockings - the Australian News presenter. She presented BBC News 24 this morning! (She was actually presenting BBC World, but at 0930, News 24 joins BBC World.)

Thats it. Ive been persuaded to get digital - £16 a month isnt too bad Smile

Anyoen get any caps of the luverly Luce? Asa has a grab of her on the N24 presenters page, but she she has a bit of an odd facial expression.

Well, I've contributed all of the BBC News Presenter Photographs on TV Home (www.tvhome.co.uk/news24/bbc_news_presenters.shtml)

I've recently e-mailed Lucy for a signed photo so when it arrives (probably years!!) I'll send it to Asa immediately for you! She should be smiling on that one! Also, I know that I will be definately getting:

Adrian Finighan
Anita McNaught
Nik Gowing
Peter Dobbie
Heather McCarthy

as they have all e-mailed me recently.

What if someone else at the Beeb is also called Heather McCarthy, how do you know its gone to the right person. There could be a very flattered BBC cleaner somewhere! Wink

Yes, I've met her too - sorry doesn't answer the question - but I spent a morning there in August and she was really friendly. She was on secondment for a few months I think.

Gail is Gail Pirie. She does a weather bulletin in the 7.50am bulletin in Reporting Scotland. At the same time, she does a radio weather bulletin for Radio Scotland nationally in 'Good Morning Scotland' as well as for Radio Scotland in the south-west, where I live and who I used to work for.

She also sometimes does the TV weather bulletins in Reporting Scotland in the evening when Heather Reid is on holiday.

Hope this helps
