BBC News Channel General Discussion

That's a random choice of episode to repeat.

It looks to me as though the weather forecast was missing. Not sure if it is normally live or pre-recorded but since Business Live was introduced I think the forecaster covering Today does the 0826 and 0856 news channel forecasts.
