Alistair Steward sounded a bit grumpy about the graphics earlier - said that something was "spinning around too quick" and got quite annoyed when one graphic was taken off before he'd finished reading it, so he said "someone's taken that off too soon so I couldn't read that one, hopefully I'll be able to later" or something like that!

JD's back on ITV1 - this time with Colin Rallings in the studio rather than the atrium, James Mates doing the VR stuff, and Andrea Catherwood in the studio with the news summaries.

It's interesting that Sky based their forecast on a few results that came in but it turned out to be less accurate than the BBC/ITV exit poll. Thought ITV's virtual reality graphics were slightly better than the BBC on some occasions, BBC weren't as snazzy as I thought they'd be. Thought the BBC's walk to Number 10 was quite good, especially with Blair jumping up and down celebrating.

ITV has gone back to the 'normal' backdrop for the Lunchtime News. I thought they might stick with the VR atrium until the end of the day.

Amazing - the channel that claims to break news for Britain decided to go to ads in the middle of Micheal Howards speech, in which he has effectivley resigned as Conservative leader. How on earth can anyone take the ITV news channel seriously?

Unfortunately I decided to go to the loo during his speech, which seemed to be pretty uneventful, and when I came back I saw a breaking news strap...
