Ive been told Huw Edwards was driven into Media City late last night. He'd been briefed on his phone

was dressed in dark suit and black tie. He began to practise some of his stock phrases and his voice
inflection, so he could be sure he'd acccurately convey the sombre mood of the whole nation, at this

from an adjacent studio. He briefly looked inside & was surprised to see a camera crew and reporters
with music, streamers & balloons, all drinking champagne. Typically the professional, Huw distanced
himself from this and sat behind his studio desk for the autocue to roll. Whilst awaiting this, he asked
the Floor Manager, whats going on next door? To which, the Floor Manager replied, "Oh don't concern
yourself with that.Thats just Dan Roan & Silly Sally prerecording 9.35am sports news for tomorrow on
CAS rubber stamping UEFA decision to ban Man City from CL Football for x2 years" Oh! said Huw, and
whose obituary am i recording? "Noone, replied the Floor Manager, we need your recording just in case
the bastards are exonerated......
