How about this instead?

It would be The 1 Show in those days surely? Wink

On a separate issue, how... ropey does that LED strip look under the sofa!

Well you're 19 years out with the date.

Now really, for the sake of accuracy (apart from the date, but I'm not to blame for that one), this is how it would have looked in 1997:

I'm more confused about why Points of View has a BBC Northern Ireland credit. Is it actually made in Belfast now?


It has been made by a BBC Northern Ireland production team based in Belfast for a while now, but Jeremy's links are shot in London. (Just like Sunday Morning Live is made in The One Show studio in London by a BBC Northern Ireland team)


Indeed... here's me filming them last week Smile

Looks like one of those Canon DSLRs designed for video (C300?) with a iPad based TelePrompTer hood on it.

The C300 isn't an SLR (i.e. single lens reflex) design, instead it's Canon's answer to those who wanted a DSLR look but at broadcast quality.

It's a compact video camera with a single, large, sensor and thus delivers the shallow-depth-of-field look, and allows you to use prime lenses (as well as photographic zooms), but without the compromises you get with most DSLRs when it comes to pixel-binning (which causes aliasing/moiré) and poor quality codecs that don't meet broadcast specs. (Plus it doesn't have the EU recording limits and seldom overheats...)

C300s are the work-horses of factual production at the middle-range of the broadcast range (and capable of excellent results), sitting below the Sony F55 and Arri Amira (which are used at the higher-end), and above the XF305.

Certainly nothing to apologise about if you're shooting a show like Points of View on a C300.

The C300 Mk II meets EBU Tier 1 for HD production and Tier 2 for 4K. I think the original C300 meets the original Tier LS that is Tier 1 HD production for Large Sensor cameras.

There are plenty of factual programmes shot solely on C300s or the XF305.

Poor craftsman's tools and all that....

Thanks for the information.

Am I missing something here - is there a reason why it's not a BBC Sport production? Is it more packages than sport highlights?

I thought this too. I would've thought that all Invictus Games coverage online would be a part of the BBC Sport website, however there is just one link on the BBC Sport homepage that goes over to a BBC One programme page which includes a live page.
