In N6 is there a green screen at all?


No, however there is a small green screen area in TC7 where the Marr news updates used to come from.


The 90 second update comes from there as well - or at least it has in the past.

Now I know there's been plenty of talk about Fiona Armstrong on the previous page - but just now on the BBC News Channel she has conducting an interview with a lady who had helped her husband die, who had the same disorder that Tony Nicklinson had. Fiona struck the balance perfectly, being sensitive in her questions but also learning more about the situation that Tony's family and many others have been in - she struck an excellent balance and the interview in any case is worth a watch. Go back to 20:04 on the iPlayer rewind if you want to see.

She's called The Squeaky Mouse Lady on this forum thank you.

Will be interesting to see how they do the 90s Teabreak with the move, whether they continue to do it CSO or stand in the actual Newsroom with a screen. They could probably save themselves a lot of money if they just had... say Ben Brown or Joanna Gosling present it from the newsroom, just briefly nipping out and then returning. (If they dont change the rota)

Chris Rogers on the overnight simulcast with World and the News channel. Mike Embley must be on his Summer Hols as well!

It would be nice to have a presenter reshuffle when they move to Broadcasting House, there hasn't been a major reshuffle since 2006!

Does anyone "in the know" know anything?

Surprised nobody's mentioned that Clive Myrie has presented the 2pm hour alone. ZOMG. Can't you tell it's the summer... holidays... cover... Michael Peschardt blah blah blah.

Also I noticed Declan Curry doing the business news earlier, I thought he didn't do that any more and just stuck to 5 Live and his obscure weekend TV programme?

First time I've seen Declan do ordinary business news since he left Breakfast a few years ago. I've always thought he was very good at it, so it's a shame he doesn't do it more often.

It's the holidays season - that's the reason.

It is the first time - Simon and Carrie were joking with him about it during the 8:30 half hour.

Really? I'd never have guessed.
