To reinforce this meaningless-ness (??) the reporter was in the studio talking about the story earlier this morning, and an hour later he was at the - now infamous - post box. Wonder why the editor felt the need to send his reporter outside to a location which is probably only a couple of hundred metres from TV Centre. He's probably shouting distance from the studio if he wants to make some effort.

Can someone explain to me the benefit of sending a reporter to "a post box in West London" to report on the royal mail announcements today?
Waste of money. Waste of time.
Bring them into the studio to discuss it- live OBs like this are just meaningless.

Would you rather have him sitting in a chair speaking or actually out somewhere related to the story. Yes it was a Postbox ... would you rather it was a Post Office or the Royal Mail HQ or what?

I'd rather have him in a chair
I'd rather have Daisy Sampson in a chair...

Maybe a DTL from BBC Birmingham would have been appropriate (think about it
)

Although why they invacuated people from the second floor of Stage Six, but left everyone on the first floor where they were, remains a mystery!

Large sections of the front of TV Centre were temporarily "invacuated" - i.e. people moved to safe internal shelter areas - and White City tube closed, as a result of a suspect car parked in Wood Lane I believe.
BBC World is in a slightly safer part of the building (no exposed windows) further back from Wood Lane, so could continue broadcasting.
