Whoops, cut off in mid-flow by an ad-break!


What a joke that was!

You would think they would have stayed with the PM or at the very least get Adam to cut him off and thank him,but instead straight to the ads while Gordon was in mid-sentence and no mention of it when they came back from the break.

A new low in my opinon.

I notice Anna presented from the newswall at the TOTH there, nice pan aswell. The JIB seemed to be above the 'editors' desks, and it slowly panned to Anna. It was interesting not seeing the desk! Surprised

I have a feeling the BBC's Editors Blog is reffering to Sky in this piece:

"While the BBC and most other UK broadcasters are reporting from Rangoon or the Irrawaddy delta, this weekend one news channel set foot across the Thai border, many hundreds of miles away from the areas worst hit by the cyclone, and claimed to be reporting from "inside Burma". It's not a lie - but it is misleading. Burma is a big place - "day-trippers" are allowed to go to some tourist parts of the country. But it doesn't equip those who travel there to comment on what's going on elsewhere. The truth is not always as it appears."

Thompson does also seem to have not been on air since that broadcast on Saturday.

Looks as though Unplugged may be the first of many.
