I think she does a great job and would be on my list to be a permanent bbc one bod
She was likely on the 1 today purely due to events and circumstances - Huw was in Cardiff and couldn't get to Edinburgh in time for the 6 (it can take most of the day by train to get to Scotland from Cardiff, and just as long to drive), so Reeta is taken off the 1 and sent to Edinburgh for the 6.
Plus it's half term, so they are down on available newsreaders to call in at short notice.
