Look East with Stuart White solo tonight from Norwich with a very Thatcher focussed programme.

Everyone opting to Cambridge with Janine Machin for News and Sport round up, this type of opt out has happened before.

Looks like they used the wrong title music into the 6 - it didn't fit at all. The way they closed the bulletin tonight worked much better for the news channel.

They did it like that because it was being simulcast on BBC World News.

And they weren't the wrong titles, they're the new titles which don't show the newsroom.

@chrisckmedia: Love being able to cue the prime minister live on @BBCOne ! What a day! Everyone played a blinder. #Thatcher


I don't like it. I know the media and politicians feed off each other, but that's a step too far.

I disagree really. It's not like the BBC were controlling the content of the speech, it was beneficial for Downing Street to co-ordinate with the BBC in order for the message to get out to the greatest amount of people possible.

ITV also cut the credits to The Chase to one single black screen and 1' page' of credits before as normal but by this point earlier to local news promo

This is always done when there's a competition added.

And to think Jimmy Saville isn't the most despicable person in that picture.

I'm not sure many would agree with that...

Anyone know why the BBC Parliament EPG hasn't been updated?

This is what they are showing tonight...

Edit: It's just been updated, after 19:00 so it will ruin recordings if people are relying on the EPG.

No, granted, but the BBC are our national broadcaster, not our state broadcaster ?

Nothing wrong with No 10 telling the press that the PM will come out at 18:xx:xx hrs, but I'm uncomfortable
with the Beeb (or any other broadcaster) cueing him in.

That's ridiculous, it was merely done to ensure the prime ministers speech was seen live in full without missing the start of it.

Of course it could just be that the tweet wasn't being entirely serious!

I suspect that either they backtimed or were just lucky
