I hope somebody managed to catch it on You Tube.

Just saw that Nick Knowles is hosting the New Year festivities on BBC1 thank God for Jules's Hootenanny on BBC2.


Ahem... Jools's RECORDED Hootenanny!

And it's still better than the other channels although I always watch the firework display on BBC1.

Interesting that BBC One went straight from the Endemol slide at the end of The National Lottery to the start of New Year Live without any continuity. I guess it was to avoid the dead air that we got during Children in Need while News24[1] waited for BBC One to catch up. We did hear someone counting down through. Knick Knowles then said "Welcome back". Had he already been on News24[1] this evening or something?

The lottery draw was part of the show. Surely even you could work that one out. Rolling Eyes

It seems that the BBC News was part of the show as well, even I can work that out for myself. What happened at the end of the news? I wasn't watching that closely but I did see Rob McElwee in a kilt. Did he hand over to The National Lottery or did he hand over to New Year Live? What did BBC One Scotland do?

Why do they always have to talk over the fireworks. Rolling Eyes

The display itself is reminiscent of the initial bombing of Baghdad. What a mess.

Why can't they do what the Aussies do and have music to the fireworks.

You're just bitter because they passed over YOUR fireworks design company.

Oh what's that? You don't have any fireworks design expertise? Shush then.

surely then, talking over it would help disguise the poorness of the whole thing. or do you enjoy watching failure, so you can complain to the papers?

The Awful Nick Knowles handed over to the news at 11pm, with no news titles, just straight into the bulletin. The news ended with the closing sting, then the weather, then we had an ident and announcement into the lottery. Then straight back to The Awful Nick Knowles.

BBC Scotland didn't show any of this, they had the news at 9.30. Presumably they just read the lottery numbers out in their next junction?

The most annoying thing about New Year's Live on BBC1 is that they want to talk through the firework display.
