Bit of a hatchet job on the 'Specials' on BBC ONE - 7.00pm and ITV - 7.30pm.

Not much 'positive' said - A lot of 'negative' comments.

More evidence of the 'rushed' announcement me thinks.

If there is, that suggests at least some of it will be televised, I suspect.

Forgive the cynicism... but the government declaring an extra bank holiday 4 weeks before the General Election is a tad suspicious...

Exactly -

If they did it would sum New Labour up completely. Accusations would fly.

The wedding actually might put a spanner in the election timetable - It would be desirable for Parliament to be in session during the wedding. It would mean rushing things through for a dissolution the following Tuesday for a poll to be held as the pundits are predicting.

well its about time the BBC decide to use their screens. like at the start, Huw was standing at the screen which was good visually. Then the different images on the screens went well.

DO IT MORE OFTEN!
