Studio shots don't need a live dog. Just because CNN like clutter doesn't mean the BBC do. And if you have a live DOG, what happens during recorded bulletins?

Yes. The only time I've seen it used is on ABC World News with Charles Gibson, and on occasional bulletins which have been recorded before an incident of somekind has caused an evacuation. Most programming such as HardTalk, and even the repeat of Head 2 Head do not get the recorded Dog.

It's only used when BBC World cannot go on the air to deliver a live news bulletin and instead they show a recording of the last hour's World News. The last time I saw it, it was a big black/grey graphic which covered the normal LIVE one. I've seen it quite frequently over the years.

Just to add to itsrobert's comment there, the RECORDED bug is used on programming where there may be confusion over whether output is live or not, or where it might be explicitly stated in the output that it is 'live' (either by a presenter, or by a graphic).

Recorded bulletins that are re-broadcast obviously carry the bug as it is an accepted de facto 'standard' that news bulletins are broadcast live - it therefore makes sense to clarify that a bulletin that is being repeated has been recorded earlier, and is not live.

ABC World News gets the RECORDED bug, as many of their OBs are recorded live, and carry an ABC 'Live' graphic; most BBC programming (such as HARDtalk or Head 2 Head) that is recorded and played out later, or broadcast live and re-broadcast later, do not typically include such references, and therefore do not really need the clarification that they have been pre-recorded ahead of broadcast - and in any case, with most such programmes, it is really of little consequence whether they are live or not.

Do any of you guys have a clip from BBCW which aired a few hours after this one, wherein the BBC announced that their previous interview with the Dow Chemicals spokesman was actually a hoax? IIRC, it was Lindsey Brancher (where is she??) who did the next shift after Stephen Cole, wherein the Dow announcement was realised as a fake.

Also Damo, you had a nice library of "BBC World Sombre Tunes", which you sent to me a couple of years back. Thanks for that. Does anyone have the "sombre" intros and extros from the previous flags era? Cheers if you do!!

On today's bulletin, it seems that Martine Dennis and Tanya Beckett's minds were perhaps on the holiday weekend. Martine forgot she was broadcasting to more than just BBC World, and made a reference to BBC World News (as opposed to generic BBC News) during TWT this morning. (Or being Good Friday, did N24 not carry TWT today?)

And Tanya, at the end of WBR, started an "and finally...." piece, but there wasn't one, so she stumbled into the goodbyes.

Martine and Tanya are a good pairing on TWT.

Does the current package involve any sombre themes or do they just reuse the old ones?

Hi Martin. Here's an example of the "recorded" dog. Thanks to Damo!

I had forgotten it was Stephen Cole who did that interview... He was quite unlucky, his appearances on BBCWorld were extremely rare at that time already.

Some really creative camera work on World yesterday, zooming in and out of various angles, especially during handovers to Biz or exiting plasma inerviews.

What a pleasure to see Alastair Yates doing a mainline, midweek bulletin!

And what JOY JOY JOY it is to have Juliette Foster anchoring the news regularly at weekends, rather than The Rt. Hon. Timothy Willcox, who is just about driving us to insanity with over-exposure.

Ms. Foster is miles ahead of him in the watchability stakes.
