That way you'd eliminate the need for the whole 'and coming up in Sportsday [or whatever else] on the BBC News Channel,' which I've always found to be a little awkward, particularly if you're not watching on the News Channel! If the Beeb were clever they could even do away with the ident before - just have the regional presenter preview their programme and then say 'that's all coming up later, but now it's time for the BBC News at One/Six/Ten'.(16-03-2023, 02:41 PM)Frances Wrote: Yes they normally used a filler read by Martine Croxall in C. After she’s investigated over that episode of The Papers, it’s replaced by Ben.They could do with a longer script for it really. Martine and Ben both read it very slowly, and Maryam has a long pause at the end.
