John Suchet is by far the best, then Nicholas Owen, Leyla Deybelge & Mark Austin. Shame the best names on the ITV NC arent permament.

I suppose people do have opinions.... I like John Suchet and Sir Trevor McDonald both equally - they are very good, authoritive newscasters on ITV News.

Too right.

Central News with Marie Ashby and Lisa Foden.

From Nottingham to Northampton, to Coventry and Leicester.

On ITV1 Carlton for central England weekdays.

Yes. I was listening to Carol Barnes on the web stream tonight. She's really very good.

We have agreed on a lot really:

1. That Street Heat is the best UK soap.

2. That Marie Ashby is one of (if not the ) best news presenter.

3. That Neighbours and Shortland Street can be crap for a lot of the time.

4. That M D R is the perfect person.

So all this bodes for great correspondence.

Very Happy

Are you MAD! Apart from the first one I never said any of that - Marie Ashby is good, but not *that* good and I love SS and have NEVER said its crap!

The ITV NC schedule seems to have been simplified a bit, with less chopping and changing

www.itv.com/news/Nclistings.html

Andrew Harvey seems to be doing a 4.5 hour stint tonight - 2130 to 0200

(though as I type London Tonight is on the NC so the web page doesn't account for the late news on ITV1)

Today's web schedule has been more or less accurate I think, though the 11.45-12.30 was different. Does anyone know who that was?

That'll be wrong, you just watch, someone else will appear at 11pm!

I suspect you're right.

(I wish I could watch it, but I'm listening to the NC here in Madrid - thanks to the web stream)

No, it's Andrew Harvey again!
