Question Time was meant to be broadcast in Belfast tomorrow, but has changed their plans and it's to be broadcast from Salford instead. Personally, I think it should be cancelled.

Presumably, the programme has been moved to Salford for a discussion of the attack and its effects. Question Time is a current affairs programme, after all.

I am a bit surprised they don't have a teleprompter set up on one of the cameras. Additionally it seems the camera work seems to be predominately over the shoulder. Would look much better if it was on a tripod where they pan and tilt as needed.
It also appears they have a locked off camera shot from a building above their location. It appears Victoria and her crew are in the center of the frame with the blue photojournalist.
That's the camera on top of the mast on the truck.
On the teleprompter - it's an expensive bit of kit and you either need an extra return vision circuit or a local operator. So - in this instance - its people or tying up expensive satellite space.
Unlike NBC the BBC (must be getting on for) 20 people to do a single presenter live.
Sky use an ipad app with a controller the Anchor controls, scripts are uploaded via NOC. Ipads arent too expensive.
I'm surprised that after so many incidents like this they haven't put red flashing lights in the studio areas instead of the audible sounders, or got a proper two stage alert system.

They might have a two stage system but depending on where they are in location to the activation they might still be subject to an evacuation immediately.
