"Martha is being punished for some offense in a previous life by having to present tomorrow night's programme. If you'd like more details on any of the stories covered tonight, they're all on our website-- along with a pathetic plea from our editors to send us your old bits of home movies so that we can become some BBC version of Animals Do The Funniest Things. Goodnight."

I think Jeremy Paxman just edged ahead of John Snow in the News Anchor I Shall Someday Marry competition.
