Oh, another change in presenter scheduling! Susan Osman will be doing overnight on Saturday from 0100 and Deborah MacKenzie is on in her slot on Sunday at 0000-0600. Deborah, if you have never seen her before, has presented BBC World News a few times.

Nicky, is it true that Anna Jones will be on her own tomorrow, without Chris Lowe. And, on Saturday, is it true that Anna will be with Mike Embley until 2100 and then Chris Lowe will be on with Mike?

Dont trust the listings too much. it has said Susan osman was on her own before but she wasnt

Generally they are OK. I've noticed that every time they say a presenter will be on their own when its usually two, then someone else fills in aswell. I'll stay glued to the box tomorrow!

Fraid I don't know as I'm now at BBC Choice. But I doubt that Anna is on her own - it's probably that the rota wasn't finished when they had to release it. It often starts off with TBA on it.

I will fill in for Chris if they want. I can get to TVC in 1hr 30 mins from here.

Personally, I think it will be Mike Embley with Anna, as he is on Sat (supposedly only until 2100) and on Sunday.

Mike Embley and Gwenan Edwards have presented together before. It must of been a last minute thing as the listings said Gwenan and Chris Lowe.

It must of been like old times at Newsroom South East.

BTW, whats happened to Gwenan? I've seen her presenting UK Today a couple of times but thats it. Why has she been banished to the BBC News' broom cupboard? (I know its not really a broom cupboard)

Actually I wonder if the UK Today and National News presenters have a chat?

But, I digress!

I thought about that but you never seem to see them doing so - although once I thought Huw was talking to a cameraman at the end before realising that there are no camermen - it wasn't the weather presenter and wasn't where the floor manager usually stands so maybe they exchange the odd word!
