They really shouldn't have introduced the new idea of red streaks flying around the place in the countdown because, as harshy said, that idea is good enough to be spread right across the channel's presentation as a whole eg. when you see the last red streak filling the screen at the end of the countdown, one of those pictures flying by should be the 1st headline. The only thing the titles and countdown have in common is that they are both red. The countdown really doesn't fit in.

Same can be said for BBC News 24!

I suppose I can see where your coming from, but you can't have a peice of pres which really doesn't fit into the current design, by which I mean these ribbon things. I personally prefer the red beams of news as opposed to how there represented in say the titles.
I got the impression the idea of the ribbons had been ill-thought out before the relaunch, but since then we've seen the changes and graudually they have become more "relevent", if thats the right word.
I hope in the futute someone can incorporate these new ideas into the titles, which have always IMO looked like powerpoint for beginners...

Being here in the Uk for a few days, I was able to watch three different versions of BBC News all starting at the same time on different screens - BBC One News, BBC News 24 and BBC World.
Of the three, BBC World definitely has the cleanest and less cluttered appearance, inlcuding the tidiness od the studio and a certain style and flair that the anchor had over the other two.
However, BBC World news and WBR co-anchored last night between Tanya Beckett, Lucy Hockings and Dharshini David (latter was WBR of course), the bulletins were littered with several errors - wrong camera shots, microphones still on when they shouldn't have been, which gave us a few surprise on air comments from tanya that we shouldn't have heard, and a mix up on the split screen graphics, which showed tanya as being in London and Dharshini in New York!! Additionally, in the midst of a piece to camera by Dharshini in London, the camera cut away to Tanya for a few seconds who was frantically typing away on her keyboard, oblivious to the fact that she was in vision.
Then during the headline segment, the on screen graphics displayed the words "slug" and "info", in place of the actual newsworthy information that should have been there.
Hmmmm - someone in the gallery was on the cider I think.

Yeah, cider. The alcoholic potion made from Apples, methinks.
I am of course joking and only making light fun, before someone from a law firm calls me.

I'm well aware of what Cider is and unfornatly it's effects...
I'm amazed how often Mics seem to be left up recently. Only the other day I heard a certain female presenter talking about traffic lights!

Don't you find cider very refreshing? How much of it do you drink in one go?
Anyway, Lucy Hockings has actually been quite good today anchoring the Bali story. I also saw that Ben Brown was on again this morning. Seems a bit cardboard these days - he was great on World in the mid to late nineties. And he was on very frequently in those days.
Alastair Yates has just taken over from Lucy. As consistent as ever.

Moderation Edit: Not a good idea to post links to live streams of BBC World on public forums. It usually means they are closed down pretty quickly. If you want to tell anybody about it, please do so privately - either by e-mail or TV Forum's Private Messaging facility.
