I fully understand that, however it seems that you have completely missed my point. Both your's and and Inspector Sands' reaction to TCOTV's statement seemed to suggest that the journalism should receive equal or more focus than the presentation. My point was that this is a presentation forum, not a journalism forum. TCOTV's post was perfectly inoffensive in discussing the creative teams.
My reaction was more of a... diddums to the creative teams sitting in their warm fancy offices weeks before the vote finishing off their drawings, when those who will be really busy are the journalists, logistics teams, studio crews, camera crews, links engineers, control room engineers etc who actually have to put in the hours to pull miracles and get the thing on air.
I know this is a presentation orientated forum, thats why no-one talks about anything else like rotas or technology or programmes

The BBC have cancelled plans to show the 1997 General Election on BBC Parliament on May 1st. Would this be because of the now forthcoming general election?

If anyone in the planning for the BBC's coverage is reading then please, for the love of God, don't have Jeremy Vine on Election Night! Just bin all the green screen patronising graphics and instead let's have only the sensible and measured presentation of results provided by Emily Maitlis with the touch screen.

You mean you don't want virtual flag stones on the pavement to number ten, or overly complicated floor graphics showing constituencies in strange shapes and sizes that can barely be understood on small TVs at home?

The other point is this, someone kept asking for a date for the Queens speech, it was never given.... There was actually clues all over the place.

It's come up quite a few times over the last few months, so I'd like to think some plans or ideas had been put in place - but remember you can't just go booking stuff without knowing the date.
I suspect there might end up being quite a few logistical issues along the way, but I don't think you'd see much deviation from what was done in 2015 purely because years of planning went into that, where as this is err... weeks.
Look at Sky for example, who had booked a fair chunk of Live U kit... which needed people to man and be trained up in. To replicate that will be one heck of a job, but perfectly possible with the right connections.

BBC One also now updated to have a 50 minute Ten, which unfortunately overlaps on a 65 minute Newsnight on BBC Two.
Extended BBC News At Ten tonight. Regional news shifted to 10:50.

They have have gone a little too far with the VR stuff over the last few elections, but some of it does help bring the message home to people who are not regular followers of politics.
Having someone with a 90" plasma touch screen is equally patronising. I don't need them to actually 'touch the screen' (or a piece of green wood in the case of ITN), just use a clicker like the weather forecasters.
