Another good occasion to simulcast on BBC World News again. Poor old Roger Johnson looked a bit lost a few moments ago! Owen Thomas looks focused, and overly enthusiastic as always!
Gavin Hewitt just got a bit mixed up between Sophie Raworth and Julia Somerville on the evening news - called her Sophie and she had to correct him "er, it's Julia actually!"

Yeh, why hasn't Sophie been used on the National bulletins since she appeared earlier? Why would she be in on a Saturday - has she done another programme today?

She has been filming all this week for the Royal Wedding so I wonder if she was doing that again today.
Sophie Raworth was called in this afternoon as Beeb bosses wanted an anchor with gravitas and recognisability to introduce the news report. She had a prior, personal engagement this evening however so could not continue.
