Heres one after the recap from the regions on the Evening News. After this shot, all the crew moved in front of camera to sort out wiring and the like, until the camera was moved to the floor and a generic caption came up and now has a 'generic' London skyline shot.

London Polls ....

Can someone explain why the BBC (I was watching the NC only) didn't mention any of the individual first preference Mayoral constituency results prior to the final total declaration? These started to appear on the London Elects website from 2206 onwards. They could easily have done this after the Ten. It would have made the programming much more 'entertaining'.

I'm just watching Election Night on iPlayer on VM - the quality is really poor. Is this just the Virgin Media iPlayer or was it this bad on the night? Also, what studio are they in?

Millbank - was mentioned earlier that the quality of the cameras there isn't great.

On the subject of the iPlayer, nice to see they've illustrated the Election Night programme with a photo of...Jonathan Dimbleby. Rolling Eyes

I think it's iPlayer on VM, I was watching Have I got News For You earlier and the PQ was terrible, it was pixellating really badly. On the same level 1 minute of Brian Blessed's loud voice was enough for me.

Anyway back to the Elections...

Without turning this into a discussion on iPlayer, I've had no problem with other things, I was watching 4oD for most of the afternoon and the PQ was superb, but when I watcehd HIGNFY it was really bad.

Again hopefully this will be the laston iP, but I admit I hadn't watched HIGNFY, I assumed nwtv2003 meant all the shows.
