Why can’t this be the permanent hub? It’s nice!

Surely, Comcast/Sky UK, can’t be happy about this kind of partisan content trending on YouTube in their name?


It makes me wonder how long that arrangement can last.

There must be a licensing deal or some sort they probably can’t pull it until a certain time. I don’t see them signing a contract allowing perpetual use of the name to News Corp.

Everyone who called me a liar constantly for the last few months for saying the decision time music wouldn't happen can apologise now.

Enjoy the blandness of the graphics as well, less colour is more this year unless you like white.

This is the most ridiculous music I have ever heard in such a context. I profoundly apologise. Even no on location reporter included in the Intro. Wow what an anticlimax.

Have to say, the studio looks really rather good. I never thought Sky would pull it off after moving from their old studios, but they have.

Who the hell made the call to replace the Decision Time music with that crap?

Probably the same person who decided to drain every bit of colour out of the graphics.

We have a dreadful new font on the clock countdown, terrible seat graphics which badly need a splash of colour and an overdose of white on everything. They're even more bland than normal Sky Graphics.

Vote 2017 was paired back but was still nice and classy, tonight it's just bland and boring.
