Andrea Catherwood said 'now the news where you are' a bit early today

Did everyone's region linger on the shot of her at the desk for ages

It shouldn't be hard for a presenter to fill, I bet Nick Owen would have done, and John Suchet for that matter as well

Yes it appeared as if someone must have given her the incorrect time to finish the bulletin and hand-over to the regions!

She must have been sat there a good 30 seconds before the news appeared on HTV Wales.

Did this happen on any other regions?

Yes but she should have said

' Well I'll be back a little bit later ... as usual ... with a reminder of today's main headlines. But now its time .... as usual ... to cross over to .... my collegues .... at ITV newsrooms around the country ....... for the latest news ...... this lunchtime ..... in your region ......... from the newsteams .......... where you are' (and then do a Nick Owen style silly grin)!

Also so just to add that on last night's ITV News At Ten the main picture on the big screen was of David Beckham even though the lead story was about that psyco's attempt at suicide!

I always thought that the image on the big screen was ALWAYS related to the top big story. Maybe someone at ITN realised that a football transfer story isnt really THAT big a news story! But too late to change the pre-recorded 'long shot' introduction

Anybody knows what happened to Bill Neely... Is he away

I dislike the way how they put images on the big screen just as much as they put "voices" in the headlines. It makes the studio look untidy, and they are often bodged anyway - as the example above shows.

Bill is doing tomorrow's ITV Weekend News and the 8 slot on the news channel, and it seems Judy Aslett is finally back on the channel after what seems a very long break.

Gosh, I thought she'd left as she hasn't been around for quite a long time.

ITV is enjoying all former BBC star reporters... Is it that bad in BBC... I wonder...

Can anyone identify ''So Rahman'' and ''Scott Bracey''

I think Scott Bracey should be Lloyd Bracey but who's So Rahman? (They're prestenting this weekend on the news channel)

So has presented bulletins on Granada for years, and sometimes the very rare main evening programme.

He also has presented on London Tonight and is *such* a star he has his own website ~

Scott Bracey = Steve Scott or Lloyd Bracey

So Rahman is from Granada Reports isn't he? Also worked at LNN I think
