Did anyone record the last moments from N6 - could anyone upload it for nostalgia purposes.


I'm sorting that out now.

The transition to the weather is a bit clunky.


I don't think the camera started moving soon enough.

Is Louise Lear wearing a different type of mic? I don't know how to describe it but you can see it going around her cheek.

That camera angle into the weather was amazing!! Stunning.

Great transition to the weather Centre!


It would have been nice if that screen is mounted into the wall. Someone might accidentally make that fall. But at least that's a real video screen and not a green/blue screen.

The BBC Weather logo on the wall looked like a cheap late addition

The first technical difficulty from NBH: the correspondent who is supposed to report on the £1M winners can't hear the presenters. :p
I think he could hear them but couldn't talk because of the presentation behind him.

Look at that weather map - crystal clear - the colours are much stronger.

Silent break bumpers! I'm not saying much more - I think I'll end up with a heart attack.

The transition into the promos was like what World News use - a part of titles playing out in-between. And the ga between the TOTh and the headlines is a lot less than World News'.

I'm sorry but to my eyes both the newswall shots have looked like the presenter is standing in a VR studio. It looks too flat. The need to loosen the shots to give more contextual studio background.


Is that not the point of standing in front of a screen? I'd have thought the huge wide shot of the studio as they throw to the newswall provides more than enough context.


I think there is a happy medium between the weather (where the tight shot means it could be done anywhere/virtually) and a two way interview or graphical presentation.

I can't quite put my finger on it but to my eyes it looks oddly fake (when it clearly isn't)- in a way that, for example, the sky newswall presentation doesn't.

I do like the orchestral/violin overtones on the new countdown.
