Yes the BBC's coverage was the best - the wood flooring and gallery etc just beautiful. Much more homely than ITV's (although pretty good).
Sky did seem to be ahead alright with data, but the BBC's coverage and anaylsis was second to none - Dimbleby's and Paxman's banter just fantastic!
RTÉ was pretty good for what it's worth - anything with Bryan Dobson is, a superb boradcaster up there with the best in Britain.
Sitting in the BBC Televison Centre amongst all the stars and buzz and excitment he must have felt more than just a tinge of regret broadcasting back to little old Ireland and the often incompetent fools who chuck RTÉ's bulletins together.
It was interesting to note the superior production values of their studio coming from the BBC - but notably the gallery staff were clearly drafted over from Dublin as the vision mixing was at RTÉ's dull as dishwater best
Election Night 2005
Sky's set was utterly abominable, looked like an RTÉ set from the early 90s - now that's saying something! I nearly fell off my chair - it was so cheap and tacky and clunky and ugggghh!!(pic as posted earlier)
