and worst of all, outside TVC - why not do it from the studio, after all it's inside the building behind you!
There's no easy way to get pictures from the car park to the news studios - so a live two-way from outside the building will use a news OB vehicle, either using a terrestrial link to the East Tower, or uplinked to a satellite and back down again...
I have read the details somewhere but can't quite remember off the top of my head - inject points tend to be cupboards with a couple of sockets for power, sound, and if you're lucky an ISDN line or two.
I think the Downing Street one goes via Millbank; some others in London go via Marylebone High Street. And the info sheet for the Piccadilly Circus inject point suggests that a back-watcher may be required..

I always wondered what the systems at Downing Street and Westminster are, I assume the Westminster OBs are put through the studio there but how exactly does it work outside No. 10?

are they BT RS1000 circuits? and if so do they have reverse video and audio for talk back?
i wonder how many inject points (away from BBC tv & local radio centres) there are in total across the country. i can think of nearly a dozen off the top of my head, there must be many more.
