Tractor Cam Alert!! What a shocker.. How could you not hear the tractor cam then!!

It's unfortunate the thing makes so much noise, as the mobile shots look really good and keeps in with the pace of the TOTH sequence. It hasn't been used much on the move recently, restricted to lock off shots.

Tim Willcox on again this morning from 7.30am on the Election coverage, and Julian Worricker in for Phil Hayton from 10am.

Yeah, you would have though they could have a system which moves the camera quietly!

Are they still doing the slots from the newsroom?

Has Tim Willcox done every weekday morning this week from 7.30?

Fabulous David Buik is on the business again with the business bimbo and her miniskirt.

He should do all the business news.

I'm not sure if he has been on since 7.30 am every morning, but he has definatly been on most mornings until 9, occasionally until 10. They seem to opt out of Breakfast for the usual morning Election conferences, and use the 'Election 2005' titles when entering the programme.

Yes, they are still doing the Newsroom slots, usually just after 16:20, alternating between Jon and Louise. They have a nice touch of standing in the newsroom behind the studio itself, and use either the tractor cam or one of the presenters cameras to get a 2-shot when they hand over.

Please could someone upload an opening sequence with the tractor cam on because I honestly have never heard it even when I'm listening directly for it?

Well if upload one but my computer died!!

A better solution to the TOTH camera, would be to have the camera at ground level, and have it sweeping across the back of the studio, so the set and the cameras sweep past.

I'm sure a robotic dolly isn't too much to ask for!

mmmm

I thought you'd been banned

JP - Do you mean through the newsroom behind the set or on ground level behind the rest of the cameras?
