Indeed. Jane presented on World at weekends (albeit rarely) around the turn of the century, if I’m not mistaken. (Apart from her overnight simulcasting duties from 97 to 99).

Jane did the 11am-1pm shift on world news.

Interesting. Must be her first ‘World only’ shift since, well, ever?!

Not quite! I remember she presented at least once on BBC World in 2001. I've got a clip of it somewhere.

Oh please do share! (if you can)

Jane was the original overnight presenter on BBC News 24, BBC One and BBC World presenting from 1am - 5am from November 1997

This is the only snippet I have and I must have downloaded it from some website or other back in 2002. But, it does show Jane closing a proper BBC World news bulletin (not just News 24 overnight that happened to be simulcast on World).

Thanks for breaking my even-ing out on this forum but it is interesting to see the anachronism with that clip. BBC News from BBC World Cream and Red: Version Two. followed by a BBC America clip with Mr. Cole from the old pre-N9 newsroom locale.

Is the Oscars special also going out on World? It's coming from Studio C. Or is World coming from somewhere else?

I was a bit confused when I saw Jane Hill presenting world news but I assume she did the 11-1 shift because she was presenting the oscars special.

It was Yalda at 11am, then came Jane Hill which was confusing then she did the Oscar special and then back with Yalda in her regular shift.

Ah right apologies, I saw Jane doing the 12pm TOTH so assumed she done the 11am-1pm.

Why does bbc world very rarely use the catwalk? It was used during the overnights last night and it made me realise they very rarely use it. Is there a reason for it?

Interesting HardTalk airing in my region right now. Stephen Sackur is interviewing the acting President of Kosovo DTL. She’s seated in a fancy backdrop - not unlike Christian Fraser’s London night time backdrop - in Pristina, in what appears to be a proper news studio set. And she’s definitely a wannabe News Anchor. She handles the camera extremely well. Unlike any other guest I’ve ever seen.

Also, the white flipper is continually on screen but broken, the BBC World News red DOG is also constantly on screen and the semi-opaque black strap (which normally animates with the presenter’s name) is also stuck constantly on screen.

Are these elements added-in centrally or by sub-regions geographically?

Is this not how HardTalk is always presented? When I watch it on BBC News channel the flipper and channel DOG and semi-opaque black strap are on the screen and any graphics for HardTalk animate above these graphics. I presume this is because the graphics in HardTalk are burnt in on the programme rather than being data that can drive the graphics devices live from the gallery.

After the UK clock change, HARDtalk will be at 2130 GMT / 2230 BST, meaning that there won’t be The Papers simulcast on World…

But why does The Papers stay in Studio C? Newsnight had been moved to 54D for several months…

There isn't enough time to switch to studio E as it can be on air still at 2230.
