Surprised to see a shot of Obama with Jon Sopel in one of them, won't that seem a bit dated after the election is wrapped up and Obama is a lot less prominent?
That won't be a problem until January. They can easily update it with a shot of someone talking to the new president.

On countdown A1 at around 52 seconds left or 4 seconds in, the close-up of the "signal lines" (those red lines) look like they've been infested with white flies.

New filler countdown going into midnight just then. Only new shot I noticed that I hadn't seen so far was Joanna Gosling in the VD studio.

In the countdown that went out just before 1:00am, there was another new shot, this time of Sally Bundock -also the old shots of both Norman Smith and Clive Myrie have been spotted

Depends on who wins. It'll work if it's Clinton.

If it's Trump, there probably won't be a world left to broadcast a countdown to... Wink
Warbler, Brekkie and Rkolsen gave kudos

You just made me think of seeing Donald Trump in the globe during World News America. It's an incredibly scary thought - plus I don't think there's a picture of Trump that's "inspirational".
