I was quite surprised not to see Caroline Wyatt during the French Election Coverage. Also, isn't Alan Little a Paris correspondent anymore?


.

That I don't know. Jon Sopel has been reporting from Paris for the election coverage.




Jon presented the special on News24 and World, from a glorious position on a roof in front of the Arc de Triumph. Caroline was working for Radio


Glorious position indeed. Thanks, I forgot the BBC is not only on tv...

If I'm not mistaken, that was the same place BBC World used in 2002 for the French elections, too.

It looks like exactly the same place. It was Phillipa Thomas who covered the 2002 elections though i believe.

Yes, you're right, David. I have a video clip I recorded of the opening to the coverage. Once I find it, I'll upload it so all of you can see - it had a crazy re-mix of the news theme music, IIRC.

Well, if it was the one or even if it wasn't, I actually quite like what you've posted, LDN.

A touch muddled, but powerful!
