How very cutting edge! I've never seen such an original way of reporting the election results in the midlands! Certainly better than Look North's efforts!

Well it's all very confusing??
No Nick and Suzanne Friday night? Why not?
Also no Bob on Central News West this week either?
And Sara Jane and Wesley what were they presenting? Everything is getting sooo confusing!!!
And Kevin has left Central News East to yesterday!!
So if Wesley ws in West where was south?? Oh deat wonder if central is going to move everyone around, or maybe election fever sent them all mad!!

Did they use the Politics Show studio for part of the show, or am I mistaken?

It would be nice for BBC MT to come from outside in the summer. Their views looks very nice.

This is Central's problem:

http://www.rp-networkservices.com/tvforum/uploads/centralnews1.jpg

Look how low the seats are compared to London's and half the screen is missed when zoomed into the presenter. If you look at London's the seats are higher, and the seat back isnt as big, so the presenter sits in a suitable position on the screen, where as Central's , the presenters head hardly makes it past half way.

Its crap most of the time, only when its very sunny, like my cap its looks nice. Quality of the picture is also very poor for some reason.
