Unless i become a news presenter, i do not think I can offer Sally Magnusson any critique/feedback. Equally, until she does my job, i doubt she can give me critique.


You don't have to be a news presenter to find it unprofessional for someone to shake their head huffing and muttering about their colleagues on screen.


Indeed, your colleagues would need to be professional to not throw you under the bus while on screen. More than happy to be human and have my moments in the workplace like Sally Magnusson. Colleagues also have their moments. I also am pleased team work is just that in my place of work. Perhaps I just like Sally’s non clinical approach. I also prefer her to the more robotic Jackie Bird any day!!!

I love Sally Magnusson. I’ve always felt she is an ubercool and calm professional.

So you don't feel in a position to judge Sally but you are in a position to judge her colleagues?

There is no way of looking at her conduct in that clip as anything but unprofessional. Perhaps it's a rare occasion but in that instance she appeared to let her temper get the better of her.

Full details have been released on BBC Scotland's news output on the new stand-alone channel. The set actually looks pretty good. Modern, Scottish and making full use of the atrium.

Not explaination from the announcer? I noticed there were no opts to Scotland during the headlines at the start of the one o’clock and 15 minutes in either?
