Odd wording of the breaking news on the News Channel at the moment. "One of the best loved British boxers of all time, Sir Henry Cooper has died aged 76". Although I'm not arguing with the sentiment, to me it reads like something that would be quickly removed from Wikipedia due to it being POV and/or not being sourced, so it seems strange to see it pop up on the BBC.

Interestingly the ticker briefly ran in sentence case, rather than in all upper-case, which make wonder if it was a freelancer or someone working on it not used to the channel's standard practice. Maybe someone just didn't have Caps Lock on, but you seem to see these things more in holidays and on bank holidays.
That was strange. There was no handing from Huw to Chris at end of the Ten, instead a sting, and Chris seemed to be standing up, but after the weather he's back at the desk.

I stayed with BBC One to watch Reporting Scotland so I didn't see what happened, but the Ten ended with Huw talking to Nick Robinson (who was sat on the right hand end of the desk).
The shot was wide, including both of them, and immediately following this the camera switched to Huw alone and he handed to the regions - presumably no time to get Chris into his usual position?
I know what you mean, Chie. I saw another one this morning, which looked like this:
BAN KI MOON
UN
Whilst I know this is not necessarily wrong, one would have expected him to be astoned as "UN Secretary General", as opposed to just "UN". Or am I a pedant?
