And rightly so, the NUJ are making sure everyone is aware,

It'd explain the use of D, using the same team to record the late London & SE bulletin straight after.

They didn’t yesterday either, they just did the main bulletin and nothing else

People on Twitter again thinking Peter Levy is unwell due to there being no on screen mention of the strike action

The weather map on Look North contained place names in the usual Yorkshire and East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire areas.

Therefore, I assume that East Yorks and Lincs took the bulletin with Tom Ingall but North East and Cumbria had Garden Rescue (or whatever the replacement programme was).

The 10.30pm bulletin on BBC London included a reference to the bulletin being country wide due to industrial action.

Given the known wider audience of the bulletin, it seemed an odd decision to have such a long package about the West Ham win. Especially as most of it was just an elongated vox pop with one family.

Still loads on Twitter wondering where their usual bulletin is, people obviously don’t listen.

That did have the air of just filling time due to limited content being available. I feel like I know everything about that family.

No reference to it being pre-recorded again however.

There's still a lot of confusion on social media, people thinking they've permanently got BBC London instead of their local news service. Indeed BBC South East twitter has been responding to a lot of tweets to try to explain.

I still don't understand why a replacement programme couldn't be shown, rather than teasing the majority of the country with a regional service that's completely irrelevant to them.

Of course they used to be able to show Sportsday from the News Channel, but now that carries Newsnight so isn't really an option.

Presumably nothing exists that is only 7 minutes long

Even a cut down Blue Planet, Coast or whatever will be longer than that
