Am watching the Press Preview for the first time in ages. Anna Botting really is excellent in that slot. She handles the discussions really adeptly and always with good humour. I remember when she started on late nights, and she'd be off all over the schedule covering for anyone and everyone rather than doing lates... now, though, I can't imagine her outside of that shift. A class act.
But... can we please have guests back in the studio where possible? Doing it over Zoom/Skype just looks so awkward, especially as different guests have different devices/internet connections, so the DTL quality varies per guest. As one poster here so beautifully put it, it makes the Press Preview look like an HR meeting. Probably the one thing Dan Wootton's GB News show has going for it is that the panel are always in the studio.
