The Sport included the wrong goal and a short shot of the back of Chris Eakin's head. The autocue is still down too.

I think for added amusement, the BBC should try to air all of its output from N8 simultaneously.

"I'll be here at half past ten with Sportsday later in the hour..."

... he says at 10.41pm.

I noticed the BBC One kites ident started to play, until it cut to the moon ident (I think that is what it is called), so NE & Cumbria must have opted in late? As I assume the Kites ident was for the London region.

George should just put his script in his hand so he doesn't have to speak to the desk by looking down at it, looking up at the camera, looking down again etc. Their was no wide shot of the studio in the start of the programme so he could have done something similar.

The constant mentions that 'The Ten O'Clock News' is coming up soon and to stay tuned, as if the bulletin will feature different news compared with what has just been aired on News 24 since 10

London had a generic Kites announcement along the lines of "Now the news on BBC1 with George Alagiah".

Well that's not the ticket. I've been watching DVDs for the past hour or so and decided to watch News 24 at 11pm. I've just switched on to find them mid-way through the Ten O'Clock News. Do they not have any consideration for N24 viewers whatsoever? I've switched to Sky News now.

George didn't even say goodnight just 'Here on BBC1 the news where you are', Trevor and Julie always say goodnight! Wink

I couldn't agree more. You should be glad you didn't stay for the end as us News 24 viewers were told that "over on News 24... but here on BBC One..."!!!

I hope that the idiots that work for BBC News read this forum. It's a shocking way to treat your viewers. It would be so easy to find words that acknowledge that we are watching.

Does anyone have the email address of the editor of the Ten and the Six? I need to talk to them direct before they lose an entire network because of their stupid outdated bulletins.
