BBC National News: Presentation

Keying error? I thought it was something else when I uploaded the video.

For the most part, I've been able to splice the two images together. It's not perfect, but it may be useful for a mock or something:

The background on the 10 o'clock news seems much more blue tonight. Is this normal?

It doesn't seem much different from the way it usually looks to me.

The backdrop looks much clearer than normal.

I wouldn't argue that; I think it always looks clear when it's the dark backdrop. That's when the set looks its best.

Anyone see the start of the 10 tonight? Lightboxes weren't on alongside the lightinging band at the top. Made the studio very dull and looking very different! No caps sorry but iPlayer should show the variation.

It's unavailable.

Absolutely bloody marvellous!

I visited the studios that year. If memory serves, the desk facing you in the opening shot was where the regular nine o'clock news desk sat, and the one facing (at the bottom of the shot) was where the one o'clock news desk sat. Normally the cameras sat in the middle and were swung around for the different broadcasts during the day/evening.

I swear he says "Jane Goody" at the end of that clip

Did you have to duck out of the way of flying fish fingers, Gavin? I loved that theme music - one of the best ever.
