Adam Parsons will be doing the 6:30pm shift on the News Channel. His final from TVC. He's asking on Twitter: how would us TV News Junkies like him to sign off his final farewell from TVC this evening? Any ideas? Time permitting.

If so, he's at @adamparsons1

Almost bedtime in Dubai. Enjoy your final Friday at TVC, folks! X


Stand up and walk off the set to a wide shot. Wink Gavin Estler style.

Even including a mention of the Great Lesbian invasion of 1988!

He ran out of time. A quick hand-over to the weather following a live interview from Comic Relief.

Gavin Grey has now taken over.

The animation is not the same length.
It's considerably shorter.
The music has been re-worked by David, to make it work to the storyboard.
The overall duration of 'the titles' has increased by 2 seconds only.


You're right, the globe animations are slightly shorter. I think the botched reworking of the music made it all seem longer than it was. The way they've dodgily looped the start of the music still sounds rubbish. It almost sounds like it's out by a beat.


I think they've either fixed the skipped beat in the music or the more you hear it the less noticeable it becomes. I can't tell which! I agree it was there earlier in the pilots though.

I like the way Adam Parsons described the new set on Twitter: ''Like N8 on steroids''

Personally if they had to replace Chris Eakin on the last nights/paper review, I would have loved to see Adam present the evening shift.

The BBC Broadcasting House seems to be very strict as I saw a link on here earlier which had a piece from the guardian saying about the glitches from Broadcasting House. In the article it had rules about what the staff can and can't do while NC is on air. To me it sounds as if they have gone back to school and have rules which they must follow. Example: We'd like to avoid gatherings either side of the studio at the bottom of the spiral stairs- walking through is fine.

N8 gets one last TOTH on the News channel, quite fitting as it was the home of N24 for so many years. Thanks Comic Relief - otherwise this wouldn't of happened, I reckon. Shame the opening into Gavin was so bland, but hey!

I wonder if N8 will get a big send off in less than half an hours time.
