Does anyone have any or know where to find video's / caps of London today or tonight being presented from the theatre of news (pre 2008).
(usually its just the morning news summary).
I need an image of when they are crossing live to a correspondent.

I will be much appreciated.

When they crossed to a correspondent it was just a Split screen graphic, nothing spectacular with the set.

Indeed. They couldn't show a wideshot of the studio because the London skyline image didn't cover the whole newswall. It was just quickly overlaid onto the normal ITV News background image.
