We then have a summary of the main news stories.

Bill Bingham then brings us a detailed UK weather forecast.

Bill then goes on to give us a quick update on the travel situation – and then lets us know what’s coming up this hour on the programme. He then introduces Countdown Masters. We then see the opening of that programme.

[00:00:00] PROGRAMME: we’re 18 minutes into the first programme – and we have some technical issues going to the next item – the business news.
