Some very unusual pairings there. Emma Crosby wasn't with the Beeb for very long, was she? I definitely do remember her there - she did the One on a strike day in November 2010 - but judging from those caps she seems to have been on quite a bit more than I thought. And Geoff Clark! Never knew he did a stint on the NC. (Is that TC7 he and Anita McVeigh were sat in?)
Quite poignant to see Rachael Bland (or Hodges, as she was back then) next to Anita in that last picture.

Phil only used to do Saturday afternoons on News 24 as he used to present weekday evenings on BBC World. In 2001, Mishal Husain became his replacement on World and Phil moved to weekday mornings on News 24.Was Philip on six days a week, then? You're lucky if you see a newscaster do a five-day week these days, never mind six!
Prior to Philip Hayton, Joanna worked with Ben Geoghegan on News 24 weekday mornings.
That still looks like it was taken as the camera was zooming in.
Also, who else remembers clock-gate of 2007? When the first set of VizRT graphics debuted and the News 24 on screen clock was placed outside the 4:3 safe zone so only those with a 16:9 telly or not using centre cut out could see it?
That sparked so many complaints it was moved to the right and ended up with a really strange black overlay in the end. Would be interesting to see the original 16:9 graphics again.
