It usually included the "Paper Monitor", which provided a commentary on the daily press in the United Kingdom. During the day a series of <a href="/wiki/Caption_contest" title="Caption contest">caption competitions</a> and oddities were added. On weekday evenings at around 5 p.m. GMT, letters from readers, both serious and light-hearted, were published.

Readers were encouraged to send their own images depicting ten objects to accompany the facts; past examples have included 10 swans flying in formation and ten toes. </p><p>Since a redesign of the BBC News Online in September 2006, the Magazine Monitor followed a blog-style layout, rather than as a page updated over the week in a similar way to news articles.
