Have to say that these Jeremy Vine virtual graphics are much better than the general election last year. Probably because they are using ITN facilities, rather than the ad-hoc setup in TC1 last year. Hope Broadcasting House is setup with the infrastructure for a decent VR studio, rather than the BBC having to go and use a rival broadcasters' facilities.

N9 seems a lot redder than at the last elections, when they'd made the background far more visibly multi-coloured. I'm not sure why it would matter, though. BBC News colours are red and white, and all the voting is over.

Virtual Broadcasting House seems very false and I'm not really a fan of the graphics, other than the lack of Gills Sans. Could it have disappeared completely from BBC News graphics by the time they're at BH, I wonder?

EDIT: I see they're actually using Gills Sans - just looked a lot simpler on my laptop.

Actually scrap that, the matting is CRAP! It's just surrounding the edge of the table with a bit of headroom for guests, and you can literally see the background fade into black where this headroom is. Oh well.

The graphics have gone even lower!

The logo and ticker on network was OK on my screen at the beginning of the programme, but all of a sudden it appears to have moved down even further.

For the first time since getting my telly I've had to put Overscan on. Very poor.

Is it just me, or does the ticker appear to have moved *lower* down the screen?!? Shocked

Edit: Christ, it's like Play Your Cards Right ! Now it's gone "higher!" again...

The ticker on the News Channels' online stream is clipped off at the bottom...

The normal high resolution graphics used for the VR sequences seem to have been lost too, with lots of aliasing visible on close ups.

Cant read the ticker at all now, graphics have slipped further down

...and they've moved it back up. Still VERY close to the bottom, however.

And now it's back up.

They slipped when the live bug appeared; however, they appear to have fixed them now.

Scotland's logo and ticker has just appeared. Very similar to network, but with 'BBC SCOTLAND' in blue and white, no clock and a rubbish font on the ticker.
