Even if the "Plymouth" edition had been the pre-recorded one, it'd be more trouble than it's worth to try and edit out those couple of seconds of the presenter looking at their script during the small window of time between the end of the pre-recording and the start of the pre-recorded bulletin then being broadcast. Also, it would have the knock-on effect of making the bulletin under-run slightly, so there'd end up being e.g. a pregnant pause on the copyright endboard at the end of the bulletin or something.

She actually did the same with her paper script at the end of the bulletin, so perhaps it's just 'her thing'. 

Rather like on Spotlight, where Kirk England puts the script on his right, then picks it up and puts it back there again. I wait for him to do it every time.
