New coming up stings today?

Also, Martin Popplewell and Allan King were both in their original shifts yesterday.

Indeed... very Fox style Nice though.

Quick question about the 2 minute silence this morning. Is it observed in the gallery ie. is it planned in advance and the vision mixer just follows that plan, or is it just not possible?

Just curious..

I'm not sure if it is observed, but its not impossible.. The VM only as to takes live shots from different locations, nothing that needs too much direction, If not the Director could mix for the two minutes.

New Coming Up thing.... strange... awfuly american. I say bring the globe back... like the ones on the desk top backgrounds in the studio.

American in a very British way though!

I quite like that - it's certainly different to the original one anyway.

Yeah - have to agree, quite like it to be honest - nice music as well.

Is it just me or is the ticker going faster tonight!

I thought the same thing about an hour ago.

I do like the music though.

I have to say i like these new animations, I mean its obvious where the influence comes from but its kind of a more sedate way, its not all flashy stuff, guns blazing out into the break. I would have prefered the backdrop to be something more along the lines of the globe though
