BBC Scotland News Thread

She's back next week according to the reporting scotland website programme times

I doubt it - they were saying it was touch and go as to whether she would make her Hogmany hosting duties but she is aiming to be back for it.
Also, at the bottom of the link it says they are 'playing it by ear'

Who has been presenting this week?

Sally Magnusson - Monday
Tuesday & Wednesday - Catriona Shearer, Thursday - Sally Magnusson.

Is Catriona Shearer the chirpy lady from the morning slot?

very chirpy!

So Reporting Scotland started to be broadcast in HD on Monday 14th January.

The studio shots and the live astons were HD, everything else was SD AFAICS, no surprise really. The astons during the news roundup were SD, Titles looked as they were before.

Are you all looking to see how scruffy it looks up close and HD? Its no bad.

Scruffy? How can you even suggest that a programme which once featured the great Mary Marquis could be even remotely scruffy????

A belated Happy New Year to you, Gavin.

Aye, and to you.

Mary made an appearance the other week on the BBC Scotland documentary about Scottish viewing habits and programming. They talked about how she was a well known face as an interviewer before she ended up hosting the news, and she appeared in vision to discuss it.

She looks almost exactly the same, give or take a crowsfoot.

I might have TiVo'd it. If I did I'll upload a snapshot.

Anyway, I had a lovely wee visit to PQ last month. There's a bit of stoor in the studio but its nothing to how dusty my own bookshelfs are.

A whole newsnight given over to newsnight Scotland tonight. I would rather see the UK programme. They've updated the Scottish titles finally I see in line with newsnight normal.

ooh, does it involve a shoddy helicopter shot of pacific quay?
