This is a 100% increase on 2004, where the 10 o'clock TOTH only took 50 seconds. Rolling Eyes

Its time someone puts a stop to this drivel. This thread has fallen to pieces.

Really? I counted it as 1 minute and 39.567 seconds, roughly 2.56 seconds longer than the average TOTH.

I would have timed the TOTH last night, but it seems sky are having problems. Checked all my other channels and they all look fine, so it must be at sky's end and not mine. Luckily I took out my camera and filmed the televisual event for all to see:

That was the problem, broadcasts from a couple of months ago clearly slipped through some kind of wormhole and disrupted the signal. Probably is the reason for that TOTH taking 1 minute and 40 seconds too.

Oh yes , I think you are definitely right! Was this also the reason why the music bed wasn't as loud as the day before?

That often happens with me when I watch Sky News on Freeview, but not on Sky itself.

Please can you let us know how long the 10pm TOTH was? It really is vital that I update my database of TOTH lengths
