I remember that LWT replaced a casual/filling-in announcer with the experienced Trish Bertram on the day of Diana’s death, as their pres was going out to the network and, in Trish’s words, it wouldn’t have been fair to drop the casual in at the deep end. I’m not sure how new the lady announcer on BBC One is, or what experience she has elsewhere, but you would think her superiors would make a judgement call based on their announcers’ experience and performance before confirming rosters for important occasions like this.
