i think its good they present other programmes. it shows that they do have legs behind that desk and it shows them for who they are rather than just telling stories all the time.

Does anyone think it's a little weird or unprofessional for a senior newscaster (Fiona Bruce) to be presenting an entertainment-type shoe (Crimewatch)?

Crimewatch an entertainment show?? lol!

It's a monthly show, asking showing wanted criminals for serious crimes. The BBC reconstructs the events of a crime in the hope of jogging peoples memories so that they can help Police with their inquiries.

Fiona Bruce replaced Jill Dando, who was murdered in 1999.

Actually, George Eykyn is presenting Breakfast on Friday. He is reading the news briefing.

Actually, Breakfast has been strange recently!

Asad Ahmad has been filled in for by Jane Hill, Emma Howard, and now George Eykyn!

Also, Darren Jordon is on all week next week with Bill on Friday!

Huw is back doing the bulletins today - updates in the morning, I suspect he'll be doing the One and then through to the Six as well...

The Radio Times normally says who is presenting the news for the week.

I get all my BBC ONE ones from the Radio Times (as mentioned above) however this has been wrong this week for the Six! I find the best place for News 24 listings is the BBC Whatson website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/whatson). You can see who is presenting until a week today and yesterday if there were any changes. The BBC ONE page isn't updated until a few hours before each bulletin.

Give it a try! The News 24 one is very rarely wrong!
