If that L-shaped plinth doesn't roll away from the main desk during the title sequence I will be very disappointed.

I read the rules and it's basically "don't say anything that will affect the outcome of the election." Would encouraging people to go out and vote be in violation?

I wouldn't have thought encouraging people to go out and vote would be a violation, unless of course they also said something that might influence how those people voted. (e.g. "go out and vote today if you want to remain in the EU" or "go out and vote today if you want to leave the EU".)

Publishing information setting out the practicalities involved in helping people to vote, such as when the polls are open, the wording of the question, expectations of when the result may be known, etc. are allowed, but the BBC stops short of actually encouraging people to vote.

The musician certainly seems to be spouting crap, and I'm not sure why he's there.

He was there to provide facts and statistics to back up his views and debunk the leave arguments, which he seemed to do very easily and very eloquently when he wasn't being shouted down by people who don't like facts and statistics. Wait, this isn't for discussing the referendum.... Sorry.

Also, yes, last night's debate was a shambles, both in terms of the organisation and the TV production of it. Frequent camera mishaps, Paxman walking across an active shot, and just weird pauses and gaps and fluffs everywhere.

At least they used the proper BBC logo and not one of those horrible remakes!

CNBC are showing alternative programming for the international markets today due to UK laws. None of the normal US programming is being shown;

US programming seems to still be broadcasting in the US, screengrab from squawk earlier:

A jagged edge ITV logo and Sky's logo from the 1990's. Well done indeed.

On Zattoo Switzerland, CNBC had a live from London during Squawk on the Street which fully complied with Ofcom rules.
