There also seems to still be some confusion of the name of the bulletins.

Just as there was in 1999/2000, until they eventually drifted back to using the old names.

I don't see the point in trying to rename the main bulletins, the public will continue to use the old names regardless, and besides, 'News at X' is just so terribly ITV-esque.

I much prefer Six O'Clock News - obviously, I can see why they would want to change it - but it just will never work.

You'll never guess what i dug up.
The Company which made the 90's Virtual Reality Set.

Inceredible.

I found it by typing bbc news 24 ident gif animation into google!

Well it's more the company which made the kit that the BBC used to make that "virtual" set. But interesting link anyway.

I'm not quite sure what is wrong with the world, but for the second time today I find myself completely agreeing with Gavin.

Brekkie, you took the words right out of my mouth!

Well, gentlemen, I'm tickled pink by this news.

Like the large, sharp image of the titles though.

There's a full report and studio discussion on the debate we've been having today (with similar conclusions drawn) on Newsnight Scotland, available shortly on iPlayer.

Some nice behind the scenes shots in the report, too.

I think that kind of illustrates the point - being covered on Newsnight Scotland, but not by the network.

Indeed, the irony is delicious.

I'd just like to say full credit to the BBC this evening, I didn't see the start at 6 but I imagine NC stayed with Ben and Joanna to start as the result was imminent and James Lansdale seemed to hold incredibly well, much better than Sky's offerings from what I picked up on at the time - this coupled with the other breaking story about the security breach.

Nice little scoop that one. No mention of it anywhere until until the beginning of the 6. I was quite expecting the cops to turn up and take the documents from the reporter mid-programme!

The BBC seemed to time the vote well too, Sky held on a shot of the house for ages while the beeb kept going as normal

Is there any way to watch the Six from yesterday? I missed it, but can only find the Ten on iPlayer :s

I've noticed on one or two stories on News 24 there has been a little "in england" added to the script.
