Has anyone noticed the next Newsreader after the morning shift takes over at 11am until 6pm with another one covering at 2pm for lunch.

Not really but I did catch Charles Nove (?) saying something about it on Wogan one day last week and he said it's a new shift pattern. I can't say I've noticed though.

I don't know what happened on Sunday at 2pm though, there was 2 minutes silence then Bobbi Pryor came on with some travel news.

I heard one name Catherine Cracknell on Mondays 2pm news.

Bobbi did say there was a problem with the Studios.

I was working unusually late most of last week and I heard some unfamiliar voices on news in Janice and Alex's shows. Are they trying out a lot of wannabees?

One that I heard most definitely sounded very new to the job, female but I can't recall the name.

Valerie Singleton planted them in the Blue Peter garden in the mid-70s and they're suddenly blooming. Sadly some were damaged by cold winters and have to work on ILR...
