Appears to be some autocue problems with the ITV late bulletin tonight. Becky Jago keeps looking down at, what I presume, is the paper script.

EDIT: Yes, acknowledgement that the autocue pedal wasn't working.

I think Look East (East) now have some updated titles. The trains seem to have disappeared and now someone is sitting outside with a laptop drinking a coffee.


As much as I liked that shot of the old Greater Anglia train it wasn't really revelant now, as they have replaced their old fleet.

I did wonder if they were going to include the updated fleet.

Being a former weather presenter used to ad-libbing and a top presenter, I'm sure she handled it impeccably.

Sadly no train images now. Daytime titles replaced with some woman on a laptop enjoying a coffee. Nighttime titles replaced with a forklift in a warehouse.

The Christmas tree appeared yesterday in the Norwich studio. Along with some festive jingles added to the news and snow effect. They missed a trick with no updating any of the title images though... a lovely festive Forum would look superb!

Although at lunchtime today they'd dropped the christmas headline bed

Maybe announcing increased Tier 3 restrictions over a bed of jingle bells was thought to be a tad too much

Maybe just reserved for the main programme when Susie gets her baubles out?!
