Maybe if we made a list of all the bugs with TOG and presented it to the BBC in a big "we'll burn our licence fees" type demo outside TV Centre they'd get someone in to fix it.

Plus it would be an excuse for me to visit London which I've never done.

I don't think you need to go that far ... all I can say is keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of weeks Wink

I don't think it was cost, but more of a personality clash between the TOG programmers and BBC Management which has caused the hiatus. I gather this has to some extent now been resolved and there may be some tweaks coming to the system soon Shocked

What does TOG mean and how does it differ from VT Titles?

I am sorry I am a middle-aged blonde bimbo who knows nothing about the techincal side of things. I suppose journalism is my forte.

I take it from this that News 24 is getting a graphics update, and in an ideal world that the same system would be used on all BBC News programmes so that they fit together? Fingers crossed!

Jo Coburn, normally Political Correspondent, presnting with Matthew this afternoon. Interesting 3 way interview with Jo asking the questions to Mike Sergeant and Rebecca Pike, who if im not mistaken all used to be at Newsroom South East, and then BBC London.

I actually think I saw the other day at the bottom of the hour close of TWT, the graphic on the Plasma moving around, y'know the one with the red and black sqaures on a white background.

Yeah well now that whatever problem has been sorted, I just hope they can sort the BBC World News titles out as soon as they can Smile
