"You're standing in front of Number 10 Downing Street, how far do you think this investigation will go?"
I thought this was a rather long winder question in the lunchtime news today... we could see where she was... so I thought it a bit odd.

I only caught five minutes today but i found that moment really wierd. It was more like "You're standing in front of Number 10 Downing Street, (pause), (pause),(pause) how far do you think this investigation will go?" as if he'd forgotten what he was saying half way through.

One of the sources a few pages back mentioned Sunday, 2nd December.

I noticed the white logo on one of the microphones, used by one of their correspondents.

Hopefully the titles will be changed; with no people walking accross the clock & the logo changed to white.

I can't see the horrible titles changing, sadly, but the new astons will be welcomed. Very Happy And obviously the 16:9ness.

I would have thought they'd have trialed it already while they were off air. I doubt they'd leave it until air time to test it, just in case it goes wrong. Whether it is a weekday or the weekend, the production standards are the same.
