Think I counted six lives on the 9.00 headlines - Simon McCoy at Hammersmith, Robert Hall on the River Thames, Mike Sargeant in Putney, Phillipa Thomas at Tower Bridge, Jenny Hill in Yorkshire and someone else in Anglesey. Is that a record?! Shocked

Either they have a monster patch board, or someone in engineering was pulling and plugging cords left and right.

I counted the same at 10.00 but with Kylie Pentalow (of EMT) in Leicestershire instead of Jenny Hill in Yorkshire. They accidentally cut back to McCoy looking slightly confused a couple of times.

Awesome coverage by BBC News this morning. Simon McCoy with Robert Hall whizzing around on his boat is great tv.

Far too many wooshes on Sky News at the moment - it is very, very annoying. Plus, Kay Burley and Boris Johnson is an accident waiting to happen! Kay Burley's voice is just getting on my nerves at the moment.

BBC News has it hands down so far for me. Kay Burley going on about plugging their rivals and how much better Sky News is, and the huge amount of viewers they're getting. No, Kay, don't flatter yourself.

Agreed, they really couldn't have chosen a more appropriate presenter - McCoy at his very best!

Polar opposite to Sky News and Kay Burley! Simon really excels at live outside broadcasting in general, and he seems to be relishing the the sheer grandeur and importance of today.

Another technically impressive TOTH just now at 12, but a few technical problems just now. A few hiccups with sound from Mike Sergeant. Very impressive again! I'm glad to see them showing coverage from around the UK as well. Spelling mistake of AnglesEy there. Sangita Myska's line a bit dodgy to say the least.

According to Twitter Kay asked two kids if they were brother and sister to which they replied that they were actually brothers.

Indeed she did.

"Are you brother and sister?"... "No we're both brothers"... and a startled look from their mother.

In fairness to Kay I think what she was trying to ask was if they were related to the two sisters standing next to them who she had just talked to.
