The One is much more of a live interview based format, with two-ways and throws, and usually has less 'studio production' than the Six and Ten, and doesn't heavily feature studio pre-records. It has quite a busy, energetic feel. The Ten is much more the 'bulletin of record' with much more heavily produced packages - including studio production. The Six is sort of a half-way house between the two!

The Six and Ten have more production in terms of big-screens (which are more involved than on the One often) and can also use the studio for pre-recorded chroma-key sequences (the One is limited to a basic mid shot in the small CSO clip studio) They can also sometimes have more complicated headline sequences, which benefit from rehearsal.

Whilst the One gets a very strong share (it certainly was at around 50% of the total audience at one stage a few years ago), its audience figures are much smaller than the Six and Ten as there are far fewer people watching TV during daytime.

It should be noted that N8 is in use by BBC World News for World News Today with George Alagiah all the way up to 1 o clock so unless BBC news channel stops broadcasting it's own content for the half hour then N8 is unavailable.

A rather amateur looking 'BBC Washington Bureau' image appeared in place of a report for a good few seconds there. Pretty sure it had the numbers 3 and 2 underneath it too.

Worth a mention I feel.

Wasn't that because the VT didn't play and froze?

Interesting Snippet on the BBC Homepage seems to indicate that there's no formal late news tonight after the RBLFoR, just says 'Joins BBC News' ... as if the NC team are to present for BBC One tonight.

Will be interesting to see what actually occurs.

SKY Epg just lists BBC News.

MOTD is 1105.

What's the betting the Rememberance will run late as it's live?

(Fingers crossed I'll be watching Buzzcocks)

Well, I suppose "With me Tim W" had to get a National News spot eventually. Exclamation

Why on earth they did put Tim on the Evening News is the main question! Also Maxine (who has much more experience) was on the news channel so why couldn't she have done this bulletin!

ISTR that The Festival of Remembrance is normally NOT live but instead either turned around quickly or delayed, just like the BAFTAs. Still a potential for timing issues.
