Some interesting new effects being used tonight. Just someone being creative, or a new package - possibly linked to NickyS's hints earlier?
They interviewed three people, who's pictures each slid in from top of screen, and then during a 'mini' factfile from Nick there seemed to be some fancy timeline stuff.
Anything in it?
EDIT: John's buggered off early too!

The three-way has been used before - often with disastrous consequences when one of the correspondents has been located in a place with a long name, given the limited space available to insert the location beneath each face.
I didn't see any timeline stuff this evening, but I did see some timeline stuff earlier this afternoon - although it didn't appear particularly fancy. It consisted of Nick Higham doing a voice over a full screen graphic showing a timeline mid-screen, a point moving along it, and some pretty standard text at the lower right of the screen. If they did something more interesting in the evening, I must have missed it. What was it?

Perhaps I've got my eyes peeled too much! But while the three-way has been used before, I've never seen them slide in before.

Hmm. I'm not certain about that, as I think I may be getting a little confused with the random graphics used on the Nationals. However, I'm reasonably sure that they have slid in before, and for some reason I also vaguely remember them doing that with a grey/red/yellow/black background during the pre-Election 2005 coverage. I may well be wrong though, but I'm sure others will correct me if I am.

Ten O'Clock News presenter Huw Edwards has signed a new five-year deal with the BBC, giving him his own show on BBC News 24 as part of the corporation's ongoing assault on Sky News.
From 10 April, News 24 will introduce the Five O'Clock News with Huw Edwards which will go up against Jeremy Thompson's Live at Five on Sky News.
The hour-long bulletin will feature in-depth discussions with MPs, big-name newsmakers and is, say BBC insiders, an attempt by Edwards to establish himself as a hard-hitting interviewer.
News 24 controller Kevin Bakhurst told Broadcast: "Huw knows the BBC is serious about News 24 and putting our top talent on the channel. He was keen to have a role in that."
Also from 10 April, News 24 will simulcast BBC1's 1pm and 6pm bulletins, creating an "all-star" line-up between 5pm and 11pm featuring Edwards, Natasha Kaplinsky, George Alagiah, Ben Brown and Emily Maitlis.
Bakhurst said he would "do everything possible" to stay ahead of Sky News, whose ratings have dropped since a big-budget relaunch last October.

I trust this news of simulcasting the One O'Clock and Six O'Clock News will recieve the same amount of criticism that the ITV News Channel got for simulcasting the ITV1 bulletins?
Seriously, what is the point? ITV I could pretty much understand, with their limited resources... they didn't have a great deal of choice in the matter. The BBC, however, have the capabilities of running a dedicated news channel... yet again they are trying to take on Sky by pretty much copying what they're doing (ie. flagship shows) yet for once, the idea they are copying has not proved a success for Sky.
What next? Simulcasting of Newsround?!

I think simulcasting all BBC1 bulletins is a mistake. It will make the channel too structured - News 24 has always been a rolling channel and should continue like that. Look at the problems BBC World has - if news breaks in a recorded back half hour, viewers usually have to wait until the next bulletin until they find out. It is very seldom that they break into programming these days. So what will this make News 24? News 20?

They defended the simulcasting of the 10 be saying there wasn't much breaking news at that time but just a couple of months later and they do this! I know they'll still have a team on hand to stay with News 24 if there is breaking news beforehand, and they won't have the studio sharing that ITV NC had (although in the long term I can see them sharing to save cash). But what if news breaks at 1.15pm? C r a p.

I think there is perhaps a case for simulcasting the Six, but not the One. Quite a lot of breaking news happens around 1.00pm, so News 24 should really have a dedicated service during this period.
Otherwise, as long as the bar is not set too high for breaking news / live event situations for News 24 to interrupt, either entirely or part way through, the One / Six / Ten, it could work alright.
