The one thing that has always irritated me with Huw Edwards is his inability to actually look at the audience he's speaking to for more than 2 seconds. He takes his eye off the camera constantly and is looking in every direction and he makes it very obvious he's doing so. On the standard BBC News bulletins it's tolerable, but on something like this where i imagine he's having a lot of information fed his way, it's very distracting. Like i say i know he has a lot of information to look at, but Dimbleby and others manage to do the same job without it being obvious to me.


This.

Slightly cheeky of the beeb there, missing the declaration at Shetland as they were on Millbank, but then turning the clip round and going to it as if live...

I noticed they did cover the LIVE text on the bug though (I switched between BBC ONE Scotland and the network show briefly).

It was clearly not live as it was on the count graphics during Millbank and the result strap came up before it was announced audibly.

Have STV been doing US-style cals of results before they are announced, as they said they would at the start of the programme? I haven't watched it since midnight because it was so poor in comparison with the BBC'S coverage.

I think Sky News have just to the world feed, showing a global weather forecast.

They don't seem to have done so far - although there's quite a lot of speculation on the ticker about which way particular areas will go, citing various named and unnamed sources.

They could potentially make early calls if they can see a clear difference in the heights of the final piles of ballot papers at a count. That's what ITV and Sky do in general elections, but the BBC always wait for the declaration.

Full 30 minute STV News at Ten from last night (minus first 40 secs or say due to Recording not picking up early start)

Been a really slow pace so far. Hoping it'll pick up between now and breakfast time.

BBC have got it really right with the lighting set-up tonight. Very warm and welcoming.

When Huw says they're going to a news break, BBC World News goes to ads for a few minutes and then goes to Mike Embley for the headlines.


Thing is Huw introduces the news summary - and then Carole Walker also introduces the news summary. If Carole just said 'thanks Huw' and read the first headline it would stop the two introductions.


In the Asia-Pacific feed... when Huw introduces the news summary, BBCWN go to weather then Mike Embley for a short summary.

Looks like the breakfast shows will be picking up the rolling news rather than providing a postmortem. There is no way this will be wrapped up by 6.
