NWT is too slow, they really need to do something to the programme to make it more lively.

Rumour has it that the January 04 relaunch of NWT will see Gordon paired with tap-dancing gerbils on Mon-Thurs and a man-eating tiger on Fri.


What? No fish? Outrageous!

Well, obviously weekend bulletins will be done from the self-op marine tropical fish tank. I just didn't think it was worth mentioning, seeing as we were talking about Gordon.

What!!!!! Just bear with me for a few seconds. You would never get shouty Tina Bangs coming out with phrases like that!
Poor Gordon. When everything goes right, he's fine, but when it all cocks up, he’s not as good as others at handling the situation.


At least he didn't come out with a whole load of expletives and kick off at the camera people and floor crew. Leave that to the *professionals*, eh.

NWT blatantly needs a second presenter. It doesn't need to go any faster imo, but would benefit from a second presenter's personality. Only NWT don't have any female presenters for the evening, and news programmes don't seem to go for same sex pairings if they can help it.


No it doesn't. The main reason people seem to say that is because most other regional news programmes do, and that's not a good excuse. LDN, South East Today, Wales Today etc all get on fine.

Did anyone else see Tina Bangs do the Late Bulletin last night. This must be a first.
