-Having the presenter say "live from London" seems to miss the beat, it should be a proper voice over.

"Live from London, this is BBC News. I'm Ben Thompson" sounds a bit disjointed to me. A more natural way of saying it would be "This is BBC News from London. I'm Ben Thompson". Or, if they insist on the word 'live': "This is BBC News, live from London. I'm Ben Thompson". Surely the emphasis of the sentence should be on BBC News, rather than 'live from London'?

At the TOTHs, Ben has just said 'Live from London, this is BBC News' and then introduced himself after the titles. I agree with @Former Member 237, a voiceover would be good. I've always liked intro voiceovers - they make the programme feel a bit more 'grand'. Sky's in particular was iconic - never understood why they dropped it.
