It annoys me that I pay £145.50 a year and things like what you've said (wrong fonts, no URL's) get onto our television screens

I seriously doubt that the work going into this was more than a penny of your £145.50.

Also was it just Scotland or was it the whole network, in other words, where did this 'mistake' occur?


If it's that annoying for you, have you considered making a complaint to the BBC itself?

Might work better than sounding off on a messageboard.

I'm not complaining to everyone I'm just expressing my opinion and the point I was trying to make was not 'sounding off' about the BBC I was discussing mistakes in television presentation which is what TV Forum is about, discussing television presentation!

I doubt this is a mistake, more someone being allowed to do whatever they want unsupervised. Different fonts, using that bloody condensed version of Gotham (which, on a side note I am sick of seeing being used EVERYWHERE these days), lack of URL and no alignment of the different images used on the slide.

There's 'mistake' and then there's this.

Seriously, it isn't that big a deal. Someone accidentally forgot to type an url in. It's simple human error, every one does it. To the casual viewer, the url itself is barely noticeable and they wouldn't care that they've used the 'wrong' weight of the font that is the BBC Sport generic font anyway. Sometimes BBC News used Helvetica condensed for their graphics, it's part of the font family that the graphic designer is allowed to use - so why can't they. Anyway isn't Gotham Narrow the version BBC Sport usually use - I rarely see the full width version on BBC Sport.

Furthermore, urls aren't that important these days - you can easily get to the BBC Athletics page in two clicks from the BBC Homepage. The way in which this 'mistake' has been exaggerated would make the casual observer think they'd sent the entire graphic out as a template (something that regularly happens on BBC News - because of human error) or deliberately typed a swear word. The pressures of live television are huge, if you can seriously say that if you were a graphics editor you'd never make one mistake live on air, then this criticism is just and you should be hired outright. But if you can see this is just a piece of human error, and by most accounts the BBC is staffed by humans, then it isn't necessary to make it out as such a big deal.

Not seen on-air, but a nice BBC One buffering wheel at the start of this YouTube video.

Could we be seeing this at the start of all the videos uploaded to YouTube from now on to be used in a similar way like the Bikes ident used on iPlayer?

New graphics during tonight's lottery programme, to match the new logos Camelot has launched.

Eww they've changed the music as well, from the quite dramatic and urgent sounding stuff from when they launched The National Lottery Live to some more happier sounding and IMO less nice stuff. I think the title sequence for the games is a bit odd also - in both cases it was just balls coloured to match the logo bouncing around for a bit.
