This has been pointed out in the Scotland Today thead, but worth raising here..

It seems like some (if not all) of the regions during the Evening News regional headline recap at the end of the show were unprepared.

Scotland Today apparently cut to someone fiddling with wires, and Anglia just had an empty seat and the studio, then they faded to black before returning to the national feed.

Was this a network-wide problem? Did ITV opt at the wrong time?


Granada has Lucy Meacock just sitting there waiting.


Has the square desk been used on the 10.30pm. Only tuned in mid-way through the sport and there hasn't been a wide shot. The Lunchtime News body politics strand is continuing on the 10.30

Yes the desk was used in the 10.30 and Trevor looked uncomfortable behind it, having to lean to one side in order not to obstruct the graphics in the background.

Meridian just had a black screen (with the MT DOG)... I thought Sky had jammed up, but it went back to ITN fine.

I didn't see the full show last night, so is Mark travelling to any marginal constituencies, or is he just going to see the Ballot Box Jurors towns?

Is this the first time part of a normal scheduled news bulletin has been anchored from inside a church?

from the itv election thread

ITV News is set to produce the fastest, best and most exciting General Election Coverage yet.

ITV News will tailor its three daily national bulletins to give viewers the information, insight and analysis of the key issues

ITV NEWS ELECTION NIGHT SPECIAL

Thursday 5 May, 10pm - 6am Friday 6 May on ITV1 and the ITV News Channel ( i will be watching will you)

From 10pm all the way through until 6am, Jonathan Dimbleby will anchor from the studio, Alastair Stewart will provide analysis using state of the art graphics and Nick Robinson will be on hand for insight and commentary. Mary Nightingale will be in the studio providing regular news updates.

In addition, award-winning cartoonist Gerald Scarfe will draw the most memorable moments of the night live in the ITV News studio. "I shall be in the studio drawing all the combatants,” he said. “Nasty drawings of them, I think, to lighten the proceedings. Doing eight hours of live drawings is a real challenge. I’m sure all my mistakes will be broadcast.”

regular links to the Election Night Party on a luxury boat just opposite the Houses of Parliament. Mark Austin and Katie Derham will interview guests who are set to include George Monbiot, Martin Bell, Ian Hislop, Germaine Greer and Richard Branson for their reactions as results come through. ITV News also has exclusive access to the London Eye with stunning views across the river, and will be conducting interviews and updates against this fantastic backdrop

Meanwhile, Nicholas Owen will be taking to the skies in the ITV News Helicopter to gauge reaction in different constituencies as the night progresses. (i like the sound of that)

ITV News will use its virtual reality studio to really get behind the developing story as election results start pouring in helping presenters to explain and analyse events in a simple and engaging manner

The backdrop of ITV News’ main election set itself is a feast of virtual trickery – the graphics team has mapped the whole eight floor central atrium of the ITN building into a virtual system to create the illusion that the set is suspended in the middle.

The ITV News team will also have the back-up of ELVIS, the ELection VISualiser which was created and developed by the in house team.

Political editor Nick Robinson will be interactively controlling ELVIS to get right to the heart of the story and provide insightful analysis and commentary as the night progresses.

i cant wait

mary nightingale will be back soon but no mention of trevor

all the main presenters are involved this year. i wonder if andrea catherwood will do anything.

i wonder how the bbc will top that?

Nina is not mentioned either. But i suppose they will need some presenters to present during the day. So could we see an all female lineup for the Lunchtime and Evening News on May 5th and 6th or will we see some News Channel faces helping out?
