Apologies if this has already been discussed... Does Newsnight use the same desk as the 6? I'm assuming it does, and that panelling at the front is removed/attached for Newsnight?

'Florida Keys'


I'm lost. What's the problem with 'Florida Keys'? The archipelago is known as the Keys - not like 'Salford Quays', which is significantly more glamorous.

...or have I missed something else here? I'm not ruling out having missed something incredibly obvious that's staring me right in the face - I just need someone to point it out so that I can have my facepalm moment.

It's a play on words. Florida Keys being a place, and in this instance a grand piano has been found on a sandbank in Florida... "piano keys".

Wakka wakka - I'm done.

Ah. Oh.

Well that'll teach to me watch a video with the sound off. I watched it looking for a super with 'Florida Keys' on it, but was left disappointed and confused.

*facepalm*

All better now.

Looks like a NC/World simulcast - on the NC, we had the UK headlines, and at 16:01:35, passed over to Lyse Doucet in Cairo. Expect a generic "back to you in London" at the end.

A double header: Naga with Tim Willcox in the BBC World News studio with the latest from Egypt. (Normally just one presenter from 2130). The 2130 half hour started without a sting and with a few technical problems.

Abrupt departure from The Ten at 2218 into a news conference.

EDIT: It's the Egyptian President giving a speech.

Notice what I think is BBC World http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698
which is different to BBC Channel http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089

Tim Willcox back again in N8 on the BBC News Channel. Assuming also on World.

EDIT: Yes - Mike Embley there too.


I suppose it would now make sense to keep BBC WN and BBC NC together now until Breakfast given the constant rolling news from Egypt.
