I know it's bad but i'm not really watching this for the debate. lol Also very wired watching ITV on BBC. The worm is a good idea shame it's so big.

I haven't seen the worm escape the Positive section. It seems a bit pointless to me if they all think everything they're saying are varying degrees of positive.

It plummeted during Nigel's HIV comments and during one other point that escapes me.

God bless Julie Etchingham, but she not good enough for this debate, and to be correct by Nigel over the questions does not help. I just think a strong person could have kept order alot better.

Edit: Maybe that being a bit mean/hard etc I know but at time it just feels....

There's not a lot to keep in order to be honest, its all quite orderly.

A debate with 7 people involved is always going to have a degree of talking over, and somebody that wants to have more of a say but she's by no means out of her depth here.

I disagree with you there, I think Julie is doing a fantastic job of moderating this debate.

Having quickly flipped around, it appears only the ITV output has any graphics on it. Everybody else seems to be using a clean feed - BBC News online feed is clean, Sky is clean, BBC News channel is clean (for obvious reasons), even Sky channel 820 is clean...

ITV News is also streaming the debate on YouTube, which (as far as I know) is also a clean feed.

Flicking around the channels I now think the ITV logo is permanently imprinted on my brain. They've certainly made up for five years ago!

But then again, BBC World News didn't carry the French or the German televised debates, which were just as significant. A more likely explanation is that those international viewers who are interested in the British election are likely to look for it on BBC WN, which is based in the UK.
