Good spot. I think I like it better from that shot for Hardtalk than studio C.

Ah, OK. I presumed the report had ended.


It's how I saw it, I may be wrong though.

The report had definitely ended. However no comment from the presenter before going to the filler. Just straight from the end of the report to about 5 seconds of filler before Kate.


It felt like it was unplanned at the minimum but wasn't sure if the report had ended or not.

Just highlights how horrid the red colour scheme is for BBC News - it looks so much better in the Hardtalk show.

I'm sure headline sequences on BBC One are getting longer, often 2 minutes long now, with the top story getting numerous headlines and full length sound bites rather than something shorter.

I think long headline sequences on the main bulletins have been around for years. They often have long sequences, especially if there is a big story on that day. I suppose it helps draw in the viewers to make them stay watching BBC ONE, as opposed to NC viewers who are likely to leave the channel on, so a shorter headline sequence is fine.

Some watch the headlines, then tune away, just to "catch the news". This is why there's often a teaser for a feature or lighter story as last headline, and plenty of SOT (sound on tape, an old fashioned term meaning a clip from a package or report) to try and convince remote control hunters that they should stay...

Have the Sportsday segments on the News Channel been rebranded as Sport Today? That's what just appeared behind John Watson when he trailed the sport coming up.

Sport Today is the name of sports bulletins on World, so they probably had the wrong one.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Much preferred the days when each story got just 4 seconds each in the headlines and they got on with it.

The 5am TOTH just went straight into the titles without going through the headlines. Is this normal?
