That has to be one of the worst TOTHs sequences I've seen, and it seemed deliberate.

Normal titles fading in to a shot of the reporter just standing waiting for it to finish (I assume also waiting for World).

I was about to post the same thing. The graphics crashed, also.

They should have just run the World News ones.

Edit, they now just crashed out of Mark Mardell's report for no reason.

What else could she have said? "To see the pictures, turn over in 35 seconds time"? "To see the pictures, you'll have to have the virtue of patience because we have half a minute of trailers"? "To see the pictures, you mustn't be an impatient oaf"?


Indeed an utterly nonsensical complaint.



Drop the trailers, Fiona stays on the NC and fills for a few seconds until the NC presenter is in position in front of the video screens to show the pictures?


What, one of the National presenters exclusively appear on the News channel for a few seconds... Nah, of course not. Wink


The trailer time is to set up for the paper review.

The point was that some blithering idiot turned over because of mere seconds of trailers.

At least it only take them a few minutes to sort it out, because for some reason... BBCWN gallery takes a while before they take the live box logo off.

Why didn't they use the titles they'd been using for the other news specials? Seems a bit silly to just have Laura standing there for 6-7 seconds.... Alternatively they could have had a 'wide shot' of the scene although I assume they had only one camera...

Move the camera further back and zoom and pan over to Laura?

You don't know how much (or little) space was behind them, it looked like quite a packed scene.

Was there not that pool TV News helicopter allowed into the restricted airspace too?
