Friday 12th Jan, a huge fire at Nottingham train station, Trump being a prat and cancelling a visit to the UK and then being racist again.... BBC News channel has screaming kids on a magazine item missing all the news and pushing it's rather boring, worthy and PC Woman's hour programme. This Victoria Derbyshire-less programme needs to be on BBC1 and let the News Channel get on with the job... the Clue is in the channels name Ms Unsworth


That said, I switched on a telly this morning and up popped the VD show, with a live report from 'dottingham railway station, which is where I learnt of the event. Obviously I was lucky.
bilky asko and London Lite gave kudos

Whilst browsing through YouTube stuff this rather unusual use of the BBC News theme popped up


Like the off camera comment "this sounds very familiar" Very Happy

I posted it in the YouTube Gold thread a while ago but it’s always good for something to be reshared if most people missed it.

It's such a great tune, would fit perfectly for end of the world scenario as well. Very Happy

No doubt, just before the final pip, someone would post on here that it must be a new mix by David Lowe. Wink

The News Channel doing something I've not seen before ahead of the evening BBC One news at 18:05 - they had a filler in the preceding back half-hour (the Film Review), which they started a few minutes later than usual, meaning it was still airing at the 6pm TOTH and eventually finished at something like 18:02. We then had a weather forecast, trail and a bit of the filler countdown before headlines at 18:05. It means that NC viewers didn't get a headline sequence twice within five minutes as is often the case at the weekend, but it's not exactly headlines on the hour every hour anymore!

It has definitely happened before - suspect they'll overrun for 5 minutes but have the headlines if the network bulletin is at 10 past.

The Victoria Derbyshire Programme is really barely a news programme. It really feels more like it should be a Feature Production programme rather than News.


It's her radio programme made 'flesh', hence tales of misery, woe and a Margo Leadbetter expression for maybe 3 days a week - like her radio show was.

Maybe they wanted to differentiate between ITV the channel and ITV the company, as that is really confusing.

Well not everyone keeps up with channel rebrand like those of us on here

Also it's probably still called that on the TV system at Broadcasting House so that's what they type in as a caption

Since BBC News moved there AFTER ITV1 changed though, you would expect them to use the correct name.
