Yeah; well done miss marple!

They are two different people and for the purposes of the media one is called nicolas in the media and the other is known as nick.

How do i know what they are on about when it gets to 80 pages of a thread; and the way these threads alternate in subjects from page 1 is amazing

Nick Owen uses the tube imagine that, (maybe he's trying to beat congestion charging!) what line was he on?


I got on at Tower Hill and noticed him (yes the ITV newsreader) standing by the door when I went to get off at Victoria. It was either a Circle or District Line train, can't remember which sorry !!

The ITVNC have been using all of the regional news teams reporters/presenters out on location during the afternoons. Today we had some bloke up in Scotland in a white suit, some guy on the south coast, Duncan Wood from Calendar and some woman at a swimming pool in Cheltenham. Yesterday they had some Welsh bloke live at the Eistedfod.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

There's all this talk in other threads about BBC News 24's graphics against Sky News etc, but ITV News barely gets a look in besides in this thread, is that because people won't entertain it just because its not fully live overnight

So what to people think of the ITV News Channel's graphics, and the way their look handles Breaking News, people on the phone, location straps etc

Owen Thomas is on right now and has just started the bulletin with "Hello again", so maybe it's the Midnight bulletin that is repeated throughout the night.

It's Sharon Grey's week again next week, though I think she's off


My contacts at ITN tell me that Sharon ain't coming back. "Services no longer required".

Tonight's Evening News is with Mark Austin live from the Met Office, and Katie Derham in the studio.

On the News Channel they did another 'round the region's' at 1pm with Lauren Taylor
