ITV News

I would of thought that on election day, all the news would be from OB, possibly from the boat, with either Mark, Katie or Nick who will be out and about presenting at Lunchtime and Evening.

So Katie and Nick will be doing a forty eight hour day presenting the lunchtime on Thursday, all night and then the lunchtime also on Friday. I don't think so some how. Nina and Andrea are good enough presenters to do two lunchtime News programmes and an evening news programme.

Mark was out and about again on the Evening News

Tonight's Cameraman had to stand up!

ok, 1. I said on election day, so '48 hours' would not come into it.
2.The article aso states that Jonathan Dimbleby will be doing the 8 hour shift through the night, so Katie, Mark OR Nick should only be doing the main network bulletins throughout the day, with perhaps a couple of hours extended bulletin live from the boat in the evening.

Is he doing a tour of Britain's nondescript suburban streets?

I noticed on the 10.30 tonight there were 5 headlines for the opening; is this usual?

Also, on the live link to Nick Robinson when the 'LIVE' graphic popped up, 'Location' was next to it - by Nicks next link it had been correced to 'Westminster'.

I do feel for him. That'll be an additional fee on his invoice then.

Presumably to reflect the extended running time - an extra 8 minutes till the election.

That is probably the most descript area they could find on Anglesey - which they mispronounced as Inis Morn! Not a bad attempt but should've checked first!

What exactly happened there? ITV seemed to get their timings wrong and went into a feature about body language in politics, while the headline music rattled on in the background. It crashed out half way out, and Trevor said one or two words before Scotland Today crashed in?

Did the same things happen in other regions, or did Scottish TV just get understandably confused? AFAIK the regional news is triggered automatically, so therefore if the network gets the timing wrong then it'll just crash out.

It looks a very nice place, look no litter, no graffiti, no chavs shouting in the background!

The same happened here in Central land.

I presume that they were only supposed to show the start of the body language piece to give viewers a teaser, yet they ended up playing too much. Thus when Sir Trevor popped up, he didn't have any time and so the regional's crashed in!
