Yes, indeed. Wish him and his family all the best. I did notice he'd been away for a lengthy period of time but never imagined it was something so serious.

On another tangent, Matt Smith has posted an interesting picture of some of the software used by Sky News to put together the dot com show:

I hadn't seen Colin on for a while, is he OK - what happened?

Aww that's terrible, glad he's on the road to recovery. Reminds me of when James Landale (of BBC News) was diagnosed with Cancer.

Looks like the red and blue will form the election logo judging by the Decision Time logo, top left, on the new web page to submit questions for the Leaders Debate.

Do these live pictures from Westminister with Adam Boulton look odd to anyone else? I'm no expert but it looks like there might be frames missing.

Agreed. Something was definitely amiss, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but that sounds plausible. The images were a bit jerky.

Lots of walking about from Kay on location, telling her guests to 'walk with her' for some reason!

Was thinking the same, looks as if something's been set to progressive

Most facilities companies have custom numberplates for at least part of their vehicle fleet. For example, one of the tracking vehicles for Channel 4 Racing has the number plate C4 RCG.

I wouldn't have thought Sky necessarily wanted people to know it is their vehicle (if it even is theirs and not just hired for today). There are some obvious situations where SkyNews/BSkyB/Rupert Murdoch may not be welcome. I notice there is no logo on the side that we can see.
