For pete's sake, so what if she's wearing a shorter skirt? Some people are so ridiculously prudish that they'd have us wearing a shirt and tie - in the shower .

I would hardly call that flashing too much leg! Her skirt is well below knee level and not revealing at all. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

The CSO background used on tonight's Ten for the correspondent in Manchester was terrible, a green glow around him and the picture quality of the backdrop was awful.

It was again used on Newsnight and you could see Oxford Road through the the interviewee's jacket, I assume there was lots of green glowing onto his jacket.

Can the BBC not provide better facilties?

I saw this on N24 after and thought it was just incorrectly keyed, perhaps something to do with the correspondant's green tie and the fact he was rushed in.

The NCA studio at BBC Manchester is state of the art kit. As the above poster said it had just been incorrectly keyed (controlled remotely by network). The only thing I could see needs doing to it is bringing into 16:9 as it appears pretty squashed when used on N24 or network. I've never really been a fan of CSO because if it does go wrong it can look terrible, I really like the setup they use at Tunbrige Wells if i recall correctly where the interviewee sits infront of a mockup newsroom with a screen to blur the background.

As usual he talks a lot of sense but no-one in a suit will take any notice. To have a programme like Newsnight ruined by budget cuts while Jonathan Ross earns 17 milion beggars belief.

He also complains about the huge lumbering mass which is ITV, the way TV news is going, and compared modern TV to the Catholic Church during the medieval era of complacency.

Paxman posted:
But I thought the way we responded to Tony Blair’s speech was pretty pathetic. Again, let’s be frank. These two trades, politics and media have a great deal in common. Both deal in words and images, both involve a contract with the public based upon fairly explicit promises. And both are trades best practised by people who aren’t over-encumbered with a sense of their own frailty. We are also, of course, both down there with estate agents and car dealers when it comes to public affection and trust. Look at the charts: producers do rank just above paedophiles. Just.

By and large, the response to Blair’s attack just pressed the F12 key. Yah booh. You’re a politician. We’re media yahoos. Get over it.


who else would have come up with a quote like that? Let's hope someone in the coridoors of power is actually listening. Liz MacKean (who's doing Newsnight tonight) said in today's daily Email
