Unfortunately; he wasn't able to finish it. The opt for BBC One East eventually switched over to BBC London News in Studio D.
I've recorded it from the iPlayer stream in case anyone missed it earlier:
It looks like Look East have an alternative to the foot pedal for the script - a handheld device looking very similar to the "cat key" weather clickers.
With the greatest of respect to the man, shouldn't a properly trained newsreader/presenter understand that stamping on the floor and not saying anything looks remarkably amateurish? I'd assume someone worth their salt would either be able to cover it up or at least be honest with the viewer that there's a problem (quicker than he did).
