Anna Botting will anchor The Boulton Factor tonight apparently. Adam joked it's been renamed The Botting Factor.

I wondered what she was doing in the Westminster studio behind Adam during tonight's Unleashed.

Thanks for the list above, by the way. Is that the full list?


No, not the full list, Still working on it..

The sound on a VT just messed up in the same way as it did during yesterdays interview with David Cameron. Two feeds of the same audio, one of them about a second out from the other.

EDIT : And the same VT messed up in the same way 15 minutes later.

On another note CNET have two interesting caps of the HD graphics that I don't think we had seen before.

And still it appears, they still can't line up the astons correctly - even in HD.
Look where the Live Blackpool caption doesn't allign up edge of the righthand tower...

Don't be an idiot. The Live and Location resizes to fit the word in the location box...

Calm down. I can see Hatton's point. It doesn't look good on that mock.

Why haven't they decamped into the Westminster studio whilst work was going on with the main one? It's very pretty.

Anna Botting presenting from there as I type - normally Anna is in the temporary studio at this time whilst Adam Boulton does the paper review from Westminster - has she been presenting from there all since 10pm?

I wonder how many of the people on location will be filmed in HD. I'm sure those with the leaders will be, but I imagine the vast majority of counts will be upscaled.

Yes, they're all Sky names.

Even Sally Bundock? I've only ever heard of Sally Bundock of BBC World Business Report fame.
