Yh I realised before christmas Alpa had disappeared and kept meaning to ask someone if they knew. Wondered if she had left. She seems to mess up on the ad-libs that she does.

Stuart I would assume is still on a christmas break until next week perhaps? They started full editions only tonight. So its only one night. But I assume he's having an extra week.


Ah, I presumed that he would be back tonight as Suzie was back presenting the programme. If I remember correctly Jules is pregnant, and I haven't checked the weather bulletin so must ask if she's on maternity leave.


I *think* she did her last bulletin some time before Christmas... although maybe I'm getting confused and it was a totally different programme!!

Julie's Last Weather forecast was back in August 2010. Some have been commenting that she isn't returning although I haven't seen anything to confirm that. Alex seems to be doing just as much as what Julie did, but I remember Julie did weather on radio during the afternoon before the main evening forecast, I am sure Alex doesn't do that, but I don't listen to the radio in the afternoon.

It was never confirmed that Julie was actually leaving. On the day of Julie's last forecast she was invited to have a seat at the desk with Stewart and Suzie a farewell but they neither said she was leaving or when she would be back. She was ill for a long period pior to her maternity leave. I hope she does return though as Alex is just not Jules!

Mentioned above I just assumed Stuart was having a extra week off, but since tonight wasn't presented by David who I would assume is next in line to present when Stuart is off and would have presented all week, I am not so sure, maybe he is ill or special reporting?

Julie is still one of the presenter profiles on the Look East programme page, so it looks like she's just on maternity.

For those of you who were obsessing about Alpa, you may be interested to know she was Sunday's national news reporting on The Ashes.

Today (Friday 14 January), was Rachel Mackley's last appearance as weather presenter on 'Anglia Tonight'.

If you have been looking at the 'New Meridian, BBC South & South East Thread' recently, you may already know that she is joining BBC South East as their new weather presenter (look for Post #1372, on the webpage linked below):

What are they leading with tonight? Anglia lead with an OAP who beat away some thieves about to break into a jewelers because they had exclusive images, and Look East didn't.

Look East focused on Luton's 'peaceful' demonstration on Saturday. Stuart on Location, had a debate going, and then spoke to Someone on Westminster. Jenny & 'New sports guy' was in the studio with Alex with the weather.

Although it would make any difference to me, these sort of days would be best for a full west opt split from the Norwich Edition.

Cant beat the Look East specials with Stewart - he really does shine and handled ''the idiots'' in the background very well.
