I see the NC have finally given up on Sportsday and is showing an edition of Click instead.

After the self-indulgent sobbing from Spencer Kelly last week, I am surprised that Click is still even being broadcast.


I'm glad I'm not alone with unease about last week's edition. He also appeared to have travelled to the coast to shoot the links, which isn't really in the spirit of the current travel restrictions

Is it me or does studio E seem very bright at the 14:00 junction?

When do they normally use those lights

Is it possible to do a screenshot of what it’s suppose to look like?

When the main lighting grid isn't lit - so when maintenance is being performed, or simply when the studio isn't in use (so people don't fall over cameras / set / cabling etc..

Thank you, that makes sense. They have turned them off now.

Unless he LIVES on the coast?

Perhaps, and perhaps Mrs Kelly was operating the camera ? However you're still not allowed to stop walking on the exercise jaunts

I'm not sure the gaggle of media on the pavement outside St Thomas's Hospital is a very good idea, unless they're expecting the PM to emerge at any moment on a zip wire.

Perhaps someone can explain why a reporter and crew from GMB had to transport themselves to Liverpool FC to stand outside a deserted stadium to talk about furloughing?

Pointless lives are one thing during normal times, I'm not clear why they are still permitted in the current period?

Studio C appears to have the London backdrop during the Studio C NC/World simulcast today (whilst Marr is in E). Looks a lot better than the fake newsroom background Smile

EDIT: They've changed it now Sad

I believe the theory goes that a journo working from home can drive themselves to such a location and meet a lone operator who brings the SNG or VSat vehicle and everything is much more socially distant than if they were working out of the newsroom and did their piece from the studio.
