BBC News 24

all the Easy Cinema ads on this forum have got me thinking... what News 24 needs is proper film review - but what would they call it? Film 24?

Or how about expanding on Talking Movies?

yeah, but Film 24 is such a brilliant title they should make a whole new programme around it... and get a decent reviewer into the studio to do it...

Well it could be worse. They could of had a 'travel' show called Gate 24...

There is a review on Friday's IIRC but this really needs expanding upon. Talking Movies really is one of the worst produced, presented (both in terms of presenter and design and conceieved programmes I've ever seen. Tom Brooks, regardless of any of his Hollywood contacts, has one of the most annoying voices I've heard. I have never understood the point of presenting the show from America - surely a vast waste of money and resources and would be far better suited having either an intergrated section on News 24 or (for the sake of World using it) doing a Fast Track and finding some cheap venues in London, is anyone really going to notice the difference in a cinema? (and it'd be a lot more relevent than Time Square!)

How is London more relevant for movies than New York? If anything there's more likelihood of being able to go and get an interview in a studio in NYC than London - think about travel costs as well

Have they ever broke any news via the Breaking News strap during a simulcast yet? Or do they just shut down rolling news unless it's something they have to break away for.

Ah, of course! Looked good though. I'm actually really liking the 5 O'Clock News now, but still think they'll need to draft in a 2nd presenter if major breaking news happens in the middle.[/quote]

They have god Emily or Ben in the newsroom, so I think they would be OK

Surely Screen 24 would be a better name?

...which you came up with two posts beforehand. Are you usually so modest?

oh yes... just the musings of an occasional poster... maybe the powers that be will give it some thought.

think about it... Film 24... you'd have 18 years before it clashed with the Jonathan Ross show over on BBC One...

brilliant factfile virtual thing just now on space travel... are these done in a green screen studio and then put together in post-production?

Ok, ok...I know... I'm obsessed, but the most amazing Fact File just went out.

A fully working solar system, star trek transporters...the works!

It was live but they even made Nick vanish at the end.
