Try the Radio Times website. Wink


I've tried that but for some reason on mine it only goes up to Wed 2nd Mar. So how do some of us cool news fans know that Mishal Husain is presenting on Fri 4 Mar? Very Happy


If you go on uk-tv-guide.com it has the presenters in the programme information.


Thanks.

Interesting to see a Newsnight special on both the BBC News Channel and BBC Two at the moment. Is it being broadcast live? Also a bizarre decision to show it on the NC too, when viewers could be suggested to switch over to BBC Two and coverage of Libya could be continued.

Was the Six in N6 tonight or did they get the studio reset and rehearsed in half an hour?

The Six was in TC7 as usual, I don't think it would take too long to change the lighting and set anyway. They managed it January-April 2008 in 5 minutes!

A very good programme - and although I generally don't agree with simulcasting on two domestic channels, I think it was a good opportunity to take a step back and take stock of the developing picture across the region, with a good deal of analysis and of course the requisite talking heads.

I don't feel that anything was lost in the News Channel not offering another hour of churning out the same developments - and if there had been any major or significant breaking news from Libya, or anywhere else for that matter, the News Channel would most likely have broken away from the Newsnight special and directed viewers to continue watching on BBC Two if they wished.

I didn't manage to catch much of it (but have recorded it to watch tomorrow) - but I'd been saying the other day that I was having trouble keeping track of the various revolts in north Africa, and thought I'd probably have to wait until the year-end review programmes to work out what had actually happened (and if I'd missed any). Glad that Newsnight stepped into the breach.
