Ooh is that a yes or a no?!! Will we see more of Martine Dennis/Anita McNaught and Lyse Doucet? These are my favourite women on BBC World, and my favourite male presenter is Phil.

By the way the World Business Report female presenter is spelt Mishal Husain!Smile

Well at least the surround sound was back, which was great!

Yeah Stephen Cole tends to do this, and he totally disregared the thunderclaps!, but the problem is that I don't think even Stephen Cole knows how loud the headlines bed is going to be, because sometimes it's non existant, while sometimes it comes on at the right sound while he may be expecting to not come at all, therefore starting before the headlines start!

He could easily do N24 headlines, since there's no thunderclaps to talk over!

So the current news 24 set has been with us almost two years (nearly as long as the flags era). I still remember seeing the set for the first time and was really dissapointed that the flags had gone forever. I still miss the flags but like the current set and graphics just as much now. October 25th (new set will be two years old). November 9th (news 24 will be 4 years old).

I wish BBC News 24 still had the flag's look, that music at the top of the hour was so authoratitive!

I've only seen Steven mess up once but It sounds common. You could tell that he was trying to sort it out as he was leaving pauses all over the place but it made things worse!

More of Lyse doucet please. Great presenter and i like her accent too!

You'll probably see more of her on News 24 right now because she's in Pakistan and is presenting some of the N24/World shared BBC News Specials, like the ones that have been coming from New York and Washington over the last couple of weeks.
