[London Lite]

Dan Walker becoming very Peter Levy-like with his time checks ‘it’s just gone 5 past 5’ etc. The programme has become a bit more moulded around him but it hasn’t really changed that much since he took over.

Not helped that they didn't change the format of the bulletin if anything, Walker has had to fit in to what they already do.

The Walker/Tessa Chapman pairing seems more like the old Breakfast pairing with him and Sally Nugent and seems to work better than with Claudia-Liza.

Another frustrating issue with 5 News at 5 is the lack of constancy of presenters. You can end up with Dan with CL one day, Dan with Tessa Chapman another day and then another with a couple of reporters covering the shift.
