You would think they would have tried that out sometime in the last four months of rehersal
The other main error was the astons coming up at the wrong time in the package about the birth of tv. Again they must have run that one through the system a few times.

So would I be right in thinking that for each report, the appropriate astons are tagged to appear when the timecode reaches a certain point, rather than someone in the gallery shouting out cues like they used to?
The other minor mistake I noticed was when a piece of VT (eurotunnel spokesman) finished it immediately went into freeze-frame, but they didn't cut back to the studio for a couple of seconds. I presume that also freezes automatically..

If they were editing digitally with Adobe Premier then a clip will automatically freeze when it has finished unless there is black on the end!
tech mode off
(sorry if that bit of info is completely useless to you)

Yes to both queries.
Aston's are automatically put on air by a computer at a certain time into each report. If the journo who typed the details gets it wrong, up they come at the wrong time. News24 and World work in the same way.
At least with a human vision mixer they would look at the output before puting up the astons.
Also with digital systems most items freeze at the end rather than running to black as they used to do with tape. I also noticed they didn't have a live bug on the end of that report. Maybe they forgot in all the hassle.
One more thing that went wrong was the autoprompt failed for one link. Laurrie, like a true profesional, read from his script. Have you seen the outtake of Jon Snow when the autoprompt failed. It was painful.

London clock played at 10!
Beat me to it - !!!
The 6 showed a generic 4:3 clock - but at 10 we were treated to the BBC One London
'This is BBC One in London and the South East, and now the news at 10 o'clock with Peter Sissons and Gillian Joseph' - wonderful!!
