DUP result was declared on ITV1 a few minutes ago, very briefly mentioned and just a graphic on screen. Still yet to be declared on the BBC

Is there a reason "Other"/ Grey is missing from the BBC"s on-screen tracker? Surely they're as important as the main three, should it be a hung parliament?

Are ITV declaring ahead of the count ?

Wow so ITV are currently three seats up on the BBC. Think I might stick with them for a while.

lol itv news camera dropped


I'm sure this will turn up on YouTube or You Have Been Watching but it would be nice if someone capped this and could upload it tonight. What happened? Was it the camera they were using at the time that got dropped or did we see someone drop a camera?

Dimbleby's just said only three have been declared - are the BBC not watching ITV and Sky, even if they don't have anyone in these NI seats? Are we 100% sure ITV haven't got ahead of themselves?

ITV have been known to declare ahead of the count & in the past have been wrong

@Davidlees - Nothing particularly special, just in the ITV office the camera fell, though I don't think to the floor, and a loud shuffling noise as they turned towards a camera. They stopped talking briefly and the camera got back up and looked at the screen.

Nothing much happened, really. Showed Phil Reay-Smith in the ITV newsroom and the 'handheld' camera fell down a few inches - a couple of seconds of uncertainty and that was it!
