Someone uploaded a video of the fire alarm. As said before it's not particularly interesting.

Also, is Sky Centre the only building in the world that still has an actual bell for their fire alarm?

I've worked in a building where the fire alarm was both a bell and manual:

Is this forum about Sky News or Fire Alarms?

As long as nobody mentions gaffer tape I think we'll be alright.

Oh...

I am wondering when we'll have the first SNT ToTH sequence without any bloopers.

On an entirely different note, here's the promo for Sky's referendum coverage. I think it's one of the best we've ever done.

That is actually a really worrying thing. Because it requires re-editing politicians speeches into making them say something they didn't actually say. It's one of the key tennets of broadcast journalism, editing something in a way that doesn't change the tone or content of what the person is saying. Yes, this is only a promo, but it's not something that actually makes me trust Sky News. In fact, I will not be watching Sky News at all after this, for a while at least, and especially not the Referendum coverage.

I think that's a bit over the top. The promo expresses the general attitude of the politicians featured and you don't have to be an anorak or member of this forum to see the edits and understand that the basic principles of how is was produced.

I don't feel that, in broad terms, the position of any of the politicians has been misrepresented in this promo.

Is that for broadcast or just online? Hardly paints the coverage as informative, does it?
