Just watching the Olympic special of Question of sport and there's some shocking editing in it. Just now it appeared that Sue Barker said 'It wasn't ' after Matt gave an answer, but was abruptly chopped off before the not bit was said. So we got 'It wasn' -silence- then the next question. The only thing I can think of is she should have said 'was' and it wasn't re-recorded after or during the show, so had to be badly edited.

Anyone capture the 'Next' slide before 8pm Eastenders this evening? It was similar to the endboard of the animated Olympic trailer but with the boxed BBC One logo positioned centre-left.


I take it that was a 'no' then?!

It looked a little like this mock-up:

A bit misleading I think. For the EastEnders publicity team to imply it was a real part of the torch relay is one thing, but for the BBC News Channel to do it is quite another.

Can someone grab the footage from that feed and whack it up at all?

It was that special.

The "Olympics Timetable" holding captions on the 24 streams are now carrying the full 6-minute version of Elbow's theme on a loop. It's really grown on me over time and the full version is amazing.


Is that the only way to hear it yet? If so, if someone could capture that it'd be great.


Elbow's track First Steps is being released on Friday - should be on all good download sites - (iTunes etc)

Although it was funny when they did an interview later telling Billy he was a fictional character. The whole EastEnders set imploded.
