A lot of folk are saying that Julie was completely the wrong choice of person to moderate it.
The problem is that the duration is too short and the format too tight to allow much deviation - Julie has to maintain the pretence that Brexit is somehow completely separate from every other topic.
Certainly an argument for having traffic lights on the podiums indicating a time limit and having the candidate's mic cut (and maybe their key light dim) when the time expires.
I was watching on YouTube (but after half an hour have given up as it's all too tedious) so I'm not sure if a few of the weird things that have happened so far were YouTube quirks or not?
At the start when Julie was stood between Johnson and Corbyn there was a good five seconds of music playing where it felt like it should have cut to a title sequence, but didn't and then instead eventually cut to a shot of the audience or something, and then very quickly after one of the set, where the trio were suddenly all stood behind their individual podiums, having presumably sprinted across in the second or so they were off-screen?! There was no titlecard, which makes me think it was a mistake as that would have covered the transition much better?
Sounds like a fault on the YouTube feed - on TV there was definitely a title sequence and no awkward gap.
Could be a rights issue with the titles and YouTube, or its coming from a different feed that doesn't include those elements.
Found it very frustrating to watch. They’d each start answering a question but be interrupted before finishing. They should have been allowed to argue it out between them without the constant moderation.
