This is outrageous! Wish someone has taped that, would love to see. What's the actual that should've happened? I believed upon ending of countdown, we're suppose to see him say "Hello", while being shot from the front isn't it? This followed by headlines montage, side shot, and opening the news. But why is he not ready and apparently having the wrong script? Am a bit confused.
Almost as bad as Anita MacNaught not realising on air and then blurting out the s word live on air

Little bit of an error earlier today. At the end of the countdown, we cut to Nik Gowing in the studio on an unusual opening side shot. Clearly be doesn't realise he's on air, as he continues to rehearse a change in script.
He then looked down to his notes and scribbled something and asks the voice in his ear "what are you swearing at"? (one imagines the voice in his ear is saying: feck. We're on air. Feck!). Nik glances up to a monitor and indeed sees that he's on air. Still on the same wide shot, the floor manager runs onto set, takes away one of Niks papers and replaces it with another. Runs out of shot. Almost immediately, we go to the single head-on shot, a thunderclap 'claps' and Nik starts his intro.
Who's clock isn't synchronised, as the countdown did run its full course to the very end.
