That was unusually nicely done. They stayed on the camera pointing at the PM making it look like he was pausing as well, rather than it showing that we were cutting off a question from a newspaper journalist
Interesting to see one colleague critiquing another on Twitter:
.@BethRigby goes for a double. 2 good questions but one on its own would have had more impact. TBF Newsdesk often lean on you to ask a Q and you have to. I once did G8 and death of Frank Sinatra in one Q. Blair spotted it and kindly gave 2 answers.
With Laura Kuenssberg starting the press section by asking about 5 questions, there is no way this will be finished by 7:30
We haven’t even got to Peston yet!
I never get why they don't limit questions to 1-2 per person.
Guess the journalists think the more questions they ask the more chance they might actually get one answered.
They do seem to restrict themselves to one per speaker. I think given they have different areas of expertise it makes sense to ask each of them a question.

They've been doing the Weather VR stuff throughout lockdown but I don't think it necessarily requires Studio A - whilst there are some moving shots that give the impression of a jib the presenter is always directly facing the camera, even when the camera angle of the VR set is changing. The presenter is always in the *exact* same position in the virtual set and never moves off that spot next to the screen. I would therefore hazard a guess that they're filming these sequences on a normal green screen elsewhere (without any fancy tracking) and then just editing in the VR stuff around him?

Nope this is Studio G in the Weather Centre... Fixed locked off camera and all driven by Meteo's Weather Presenter which controls all the virtual moves.
All done as live and not in post.
