Thanks Bail - that is nice enough, but my favourite was this original closing music:

Does anyone know who the guy presenting on world this evening is?

Aaron Safir. Not sure on who he is or his background.

Apparently he started in BBC local radio before freelancing at BH and Al Jazeera.

I haven't posted here in about 20 years. But BBC Four News titles? Now you're talking. Here's a fuller version of this I think - https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgx7rmdirme5oyq/BBC%20Four%20News%20Closing%20full%202003.mp3?dl=0

And while I'm here - one of the best intros ever was the 1 year anniversary of 9/11 and how they used the four notes from the BBC Four News intro and it merged into the BBC World News sombre theme. I wish I had a video of the whole opening. But here's what I have - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qlz5x81rjvmklkt/11092002%20BBC%20Four%20News%20Special.mp3?dl=0

Claire Foy is hosting Saturday Night Live and they were doing a Morning Joe sketch and she played Katty Kay. Nothing notable but they just did the parody of Joe cutting her off as she was giving a scoop which was immediately cut off by Joe.

Edit : Here’s the sketch. Not sure if it’s geoblocked.

She's far better at playing HM Queen Liz II

Just been shown on Beyond 100 Days!

Nuala McGovern in for Christian Fraser on Beyond 100 Days tonight.

I'm sure she's filled in before. Only other fill in from London has been Clive Myrie to my knowledge, not sure if anyone else has done it. Fill ins for Katty in Washington have been Jane O'Brien and Jon Sopel.

Also Matthew Price and Celia Hatton in London and Michelle Fleury in Washington from memory. May have been others, possibly Tim Willcox.

Jane Obrien, Soapy, Laura Trevelyan and Rajini Vaiyanathan have filled in for Katty.

Nuala, Clive and Tim for Christian.
