BBC London headlines during the the 10 TOTH on the News Channel - isn't it usually sport from N6?

Earlier a helicopter close-up of the back of Downing Street showed a few OB vans parked there - one of which was Visions. Perhaps the cost shared by the broadcasters?
When I dragged out the 9 minute remix at work today, a colleague who used to work at Parliament claimed that it was done in-house.

The crane-shot pictures from Downing Street are certainly pooled, I was watching BBC and C4 on split screen between 19:00 and 19:30, who is providing those ?
Long, indulgent presentation sequences such as this - as well as the likes of David Lowe's 2001 nine-minute election 'remix', and the two-minute 'sombre' closing titles used on BBC News 24 and BBC World in the early days of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts - are rare, but they're well worth the wait.

Crickey, what is the BBC news bubble, looks a bit futuristic?

they've done that a few times over the last few days - I think that happened on the one either today or yesterday

Has anyone got an mp3 of this 9-minute remix by any chance? Thanks

They did sport at the top of the six, but I guess if Sportsday is never going to appear there's no point having a presenter on standby (didn't recognise the guy who did the sport headlines on the six - don't think he was one of the regulars)

Bit annoyed with the Beeb, but all the news channels are guilty of this - it's those god-damned captions and the ticker. Gordon Brown is resigning and all you get is a sea of red and white boxes all over the screen.
I know I'm going to sound like a POV whinger, but couldn't they let the pictures speak for themselves?
Watching the NC, viewers missed shots of Gordon Brown's kids faces - obscured by 'BREAKING NEWS' in big capital letters, the car leaving was captured on a lovely sweeping shot - bit it was ruined with the car chopped off by the graphics, and the one that really riled me is that you then couldn't see Cameron and the Queen shaking hands as 'LATEST PICTURES' is completely covering up the handshake - the major focal point of the said latest picture.
I could offer some forgiveness if the graphics were helpful, but what did the ticker say when Gordon Brown was on the street resigning? "Gordon Brown is set to make a statement imminently."
They realised this was wrong so it was hastily removed. Then with Brown standing in the street moments after he has just resigned the 'Breaking' ticker reappears saying: "Gordon Brown is in his office with his wife Sarah, Peter Mandelson, Ed Balls.. etc"
The Editors really need to get their act together - this is worse than just sloppy. At the very least, have a 'quick remove' button to hand for the graphics or just remove them for a short while and have a simple, elegant BBC logo in the corner.
