Slightly jarring to see it with the usual imagery though.
Here it is for anyone who can capture it in the next couple of hours: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000b3fz

Yes, that would definitely benefit from a few more landscape shots, or at least less people-focussed ones. The arrangement itself works very nicely, though.

Hopefully they make a bigger deal of the 24th anniversary than the 25th.

It's reuniting Emily with Jon Sopel. It's like News Channel afternoons gone back ten years.

They're really jumping on the podcast bandwagon now aren't they.

If only they'd introduce a video podcast with Emily - just being witty and funny presenting it on her own interspersed with fast paced clips from that weeks news - and maybe call it.... oh I dunno... STORYFix?

Presumably January wasn't always the plan for this - there was some vague announcement of this back in the Summer, and indeed a short two minute preview episode went out in June/July!

One of my favourites was the infamous 'laying reefs at the Cenotaph' ticker blooper one year.

And re. the Guy Goma incident, a similar thing happened again a few years later with Richard (Dickie) Dodd with the Goma incident actually referenced on screen.
