Just a thought.Working 4 weeks without a break isn’t exactly hard going. And it’s such a poor business decision to give holiday (if that is the case) to a large portion of your team, then paying extra for cover. Especially when cost is a major factor at the moment.
Not guna lie ive always been a tad bugged when people comment on how many hours presenters do “without a break” I do 12 hour days 5 days a week 8hr Saturdays, and of 13 hours being at work only 50 odd minutes of them is a genuine rest. Been this busy since march 2020 lockdown and I sure as hell know I’m doing a lot more for a lot less than those presenters even on their reduced salaries. Not hating on there work but yea there’s plenty more industries where employers are doing a lot more for a lot less and for no praise or appreciation

Also a new close on the trundle cam shot.
Minor detail here but it’s good to see the copyright. BBC news ditched them years ago at the end and it always felt off not seeing a copyright at the end. (BBC world always used to have them)
