Some talkback breakthrough to air on the Five with Emily Maitlis tonight.

Saw the BBC News at Six from TC7 and it does seem that the floor is already scratched to death where the presenter stands at the TOTH.

Then perhaps the BBC should employ you to sit in the corner with a can of black paint.

While you're at it you could paint over your eyes so you never have to see neither the offensive Barcos nor any other flaws in the studios again.

I noticed that during Dan Corbett's weather forecast from N6 during the Five o'clock hour the Barcos weren't coping with the flying animation too well, there was noticeable lag between different cubes. I wonder whether this was the auto matching system trying too hard?

That said the TC7 Barcos could use a little re-alignment on the side to the presenter's right - large text which crossed two rows of cubes in a report presented from this area definitely looked out of whack with the lower half of the letters displaced to the left a little.

(and no, I'm not turning into worzel!)

I noticed that too, but as the Barco's are much better - I didn't think I'd complain. Smile

Is that a new public hliday to be celebrated whenever the BARCOs look good?

Its certainly unusual enough to get a holiday dedicated to it.

The red strip is now a nice shade of purple! Much like Newsnight.

Was used during a wide shot of the snow on the backdrop... back to red now though!

I like it when they do things like that - I would have like that Strictly thing they did a while ago with the lights too if it didn't stink so much of being a trailer.

Very very awkward moments just before BOTH at 8.30. Luisa Baldini was trying to ad lib with Jay Wynne in the studio. She fell flat on her arse. She must be one that is never seen to be presenting once the new "experienced" ladies are in.
