Coronation Street

I would take the press statements about the tram crash with a pinch of salt.

They exaggerated the Carla/Tony factory siege storyline. Corrie (and all of the soaps) always play this game to gain maximum attention.

I find 1 million hard to believe.

...the Papal visit BBC News and Sky news coverage was heaps and bounds ahead of ITVs, as was the election night.

I hesitate to get involved here, but you're not factually correct there. ITV's election night results coverage was way ahead of the BBC and Sky News.

I agree. I think ITN did a commendable job of ITV's election coverage, given their minuscule budget and resources. I actually found ITV to be much more watchable than the BBC. In a way, the scale of the BBC's programme was its downfall. There was just too much going on for my liking.

I would complete agree with this. How are people not more annoyed with the extravagance of the BBC election night coverage? It was completely over the top. They had so many presenters they didn't know what to do with them. Their US election coverage was ridiculous as well.

Labour leadership announcement

DVB Cornwall posted:

Agreed with the Huw praise, authoritative, professional yet straightforward.

As for the camera location on the result annoucement, David M was the longtime favourite so concentrating on him was only to be expected.

But it took several seconds before the focus was on Ed. We missed his reaction.

Labour leadership announcement

The camera work was terrible for the result. Instead of focusing on Ed Milliband when the announcement came, it focused on David.

BBC certainly putting a lot of faith in Laura K. I don't think she's that great.

Coronation Street

Great photo for the Corrie fans. I see Nick was superimposed in the photo and probably a few others.

Getting excited now for the anniversary.

Where's Sky's Delhi correspondent during this Games debacle?

Chief Correspondent Stuart Ramsay who is also the Delhi correspondent is in Afghanistan at the moment. The changes sky made are being proved wrong by this story. Alex Crawford would have been perfect if only she were still in Delhi

This seems to always happen Sky.

You'd think they'd have someone there by now. I would like to see camera footage of the Games village and the facilities that are not filtered by the Indian authorities.
