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!


No room to do it. It's far too tight.

Was it my imagination, or did I see a big new frosted white desk in the BBC WORLD second set on the WBR during The World Today? I've only briefly caught the screen at various points as I've been doing paperwork through the night, but I could have sworn I saw a large semi-circular desk in place of the previous "half-moon" wood desk that was there before.

...or perhaps the lack of sleep has finally caught up with me, and I imagined the whole thing.

Is Karen Mullally still at News 24? I haven't seen her for a while.

At the TOTH at 16.00 I believe, for the first time, I heard the tractor cam. Then again I did have to turn the volume up and put my ear next to the speaker to hear it. I don't understand how people can grumble that it is too loud.
However it was a decent camera shot moving across the studio in a 'zooming in' effect on the stand-up pod where Jon was standing.

Why is it when ex BBC employees feature on the news they are treated as total strangers? Joshua Rozenberg is often on BBC news or the daily politics, yet no mention is given of his time as the BBC's legal correspondent. I cant help feeling a small mention of it should be made as they are being introduced.

Ever read Orwell's 1984? Joshua Rozenberg doesn't exist. Joshua Rozenberg has never existed.

I guess as we're in stopwatch season it might be done just so that any opinions he expresses aren't seen as being associated with the BBC

The fact that he is a former BBC employee probably makes it easier for them to get an interview with him whenever they need a legal perspective. You will also often see former Social Affairs Editor Niall Dickson being interviewed in his new role as Chief Executive of the King's Fund. I suppose as former employees, they are more sympathetic to the needs of the Beeb when they need an outside perspective on something.
