Oh my word, I won't be about to sleep tonight knowing that Jane Hill has to refrain from bobbing in case she goes out of the shot.
Trevor Appleton would never be any good on there - you'd have to give him a particularly low stool.
Well it is disturbing if a director cannot choose the exact shot that he/she wants to...
Apparently one of the good things about this temporary move is that they have a proper vision mixer as opposed to the director doing it.

Yep - this is because they are coming from a non-news studio - which won't have remote controlled cameras, or a vision mixer that can be remotely controlled by automation (or more accurately it won't have the kit to control the mixer) Surely it would be too expensive to build a fully automated news gallery for 6-8 weeks of operation - and also too expensive to staff the studio with camera operators, when a vision mixer is already being used?
Locked off cameras are certainly not unusual in regional news production - fewer and fewer operations have remote controlled cameras - and can't afford to put people behind their cameras for all bulletins.
It isn't THAT shocking... It's the norm in some areas...

I think it's because PMQs is one of the main political events, so it's important for News 24 to show it to see what questions are asked. Besides, they only show the first 15-20 minutes of it where all the "main" questions are asked, whereas Sky and ITVNC show it in full.

Why do News 24 cover PMQs when it's also on BBC2?

Of course, amongst the BBC Brigade*, Simon has been promoted to the best newsreader in existence now he has joined the BBC.
And what on Earth are they playing at with their coverage of the demo outside Buck House? Some daft reporting walking around, voice breaking, utterly useless commentary... why?!
It's like local US Tv news, only she's not particularly attractive and doesn't have capped teeth.
*Reminds forum users that he coined this term, and does not take kindly to its excessive use, including attempts by others posters to pass it off as their own. Deeply rude.

N24 only tend to take the first 20 mins of PMQs when it's an important day - like today with the Mirror journo in Buck House which was bound to be asked ... like Howard's first day etc. If it's a normal run of the mill type PMQs they tend to do a highlights thing with Guto (or in the old days Nick Robinson) after 1230.
