So what's changed then I don't see it what the excitement was about.

That's not too bad actually it's not too fancy and over the top just right I think.

Wow. Not the best piece of design work.
White name captions not been enclosed in a strap box means the some of the letters in the name caption are getting completely lost if the area of the picture is white.

Stick the picture takers names in another coloured block sitting on top of the clock. Text is small enough to be just noticable and not detract from the picture/photo.

Maybe it's just me but James seems to hype the slightest of changes to graphics.

He's the graphic designer for the programme; it is his own personal Twitter account. He did not preface the tweet with the words 'huge news!' This is the equivalent of being married to an estate agent who comes home at the end of the day and says 'I sold a flat this afternoon.'

And remember social media is how you can show off your own work/contribution and might mean you are remembered the next time someone has an opportunity or bit of freelance work available. Equally this might just be someone who is very proud of their end result - after all we don't know how long this took to produce and how many variations it might have gone through before it was approved.

Personally, I think that's extremely nice and far better than some of the more boring ways of showing off viewer photos. I like the animation between each still and starting with a thumbnail footer keyed over the output is quite original I think (can't recall BBC news doing that before anyway?). Good work.

And this morning, the coming up sequence included an item about an interview with Nicola Sturgeon, while showing footage of a gorilla. Whoops!

It's absolutely disgusting that the BBC have chosen to mock in this way. This was clearly not accidental at all and heads should roll at BBC News for this. They've gone a step too far in this case, Drew. I am incensed!

I hope all other activists join me in apologising to the gorilla on behalf of the BBC.
