BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

We don't get GMT here in the UK anymore. It was replaced on BBC Two by the Daily Politics earlier in the year, which in turn was replaced by a BBC World News simulcast from 11:30-12:00.

The only time we get to share Zeinab Badawi with you is through World News Today on BBC Four.

Chris Rogers has got an emmy nomination in the US for a piece he did in Uganda

Sian Williams to compete in Strictly Come Dancing.

For Gawd's sake! Newsreaders should not. Should not.

Let her off and let her have her fun. She's not doing anyone any disservice to anyone.

Well, she had better win!!!!! LOL. Relax. I'm not being serious.

Tim Willcox covering Maxine again this afternoon!

I've realised that he always has his iPhone on the desk in N6! iPhone 4

Edit: 12:20, Tim standing up now, never noticed this before! Now I know that People are preparing for dateline

And if you look at BBC World right now, you'll see that Dobs has his iPad sitting on the desk, wedged between him and the laptop on the desk.

I reckon he's playing Boggle in between links.

Yes - expect someone to be filling in for Maxine over the next few weekends too (probably Tim/Adam Parsons/Sue Thearle/Fiona Armstrong and so on) - she always seems to take a while off in the summertime. Nothing new!

When was Adam last on the News Channel?

Haven't seen Adam Parsons lately on the NC, however planned to see him on Breakfast tomorrow though??

Munchetty Parsons! Good pairing, I reckon.

It'll be his second time presenting Breakfast, his first time on the sofa though and from Salford. The last time he presented was a desk-bound edition last summer, also with Naga.
