Not a classic or exciting election but interesting to see.

A bit of a logo/caption clash in the top left though, mind you at least it obscures that odd cone 'V' logo

That screen behind Dimbleby is pretty poor, isn't it?

Did they show the short BBC News bulletin near the start? If show what region's news was built into it, I think UK Today was the "network" feed at this point...

It appears to be running 2 minutes ahead i.e. 23:38 on the night is 11:36 today. It ends at 21:20 tonight so did it really go onto 9:20 the following morning?

The DOG is really ruining the rerun. They could have just left it at it's normal position down at the bottom.

That's reminded me to respond to the BBC's review of BBC News and BBC Parliament. A linear TV channel is not the way to cover Parliament, especially when nobody watches it!

It went away for Breakfast at 6am (which isn't usually shown in the BBCP re-runs), followed by a regional round-up at 9, then they came back at 9.30am and went through until 1pm. It went on-air at 2155 and I'm guessing the news bulletin I refer to above may have been removed, meaning it doesn't quite match up.

Anymore news bulletins coming up?

Ah, yes. If I recall, the image on it was just a wide shot of the studio, so you can sometimes actually see Dimbleby in the background!

Shame they do not remove the DOG - not needed

I was thinking more of the grainy screen to the side with the DTL pictures on it.
