Minor point: do none of you just press back-up to remove the Active DOG?

Now, I normally press back up when getting screen grabs but on this occasion it must have been a quick grab and I didn't have time.... so apologies for the DOG! Anyway....
This is not the temporary studio, but some nice shots of the OLD one, that were not very commonly seen, does anyone know when they stopped using the plasma screen for presenters? -- just a note, it looks better than the News24 style of doing things And does anyone remember a Sportsline where the big plasma screen at the side of Nick Powell was moving around and going up and down, very funny... nearly hit him on the head.

And also some of the .comTV studio which I guess the new studio may be similar to (then again, knowing Sky it probably wont!!)

The 'extra' screens were used right until the end of the old studio. BUT only when a presenter was on location, to put his face (I saw he because Kay Burley is the only female to be sent out to anchor on location (twice) in recent years!).

Did anyone see when a close shot during world news hit the guest with the camera!

Do you remember the incident in September 2000 when Thomas Moore (Health) was doing a live piece-to-camera in Live @ 5 from the High Court & some guy came up from behind him & tipped a bin full of LEAVES on him. He carried on for a few minutes REGARDLESS!

One day it will make one of the funnies programmes!
Actually, The Sun used it the next day.

I saw that too!
I thought it was a tree branch though!
That was so funny but he recovered very well.
I can remember Kay joking about it the next day saying how everyone in the office had been trying to get their hands on The Sun.

Something totally irrelevant:


On the screen JT is interviewing Ray Snoddy (Media Ed, Times) & the screen says 'Central London' he's actually in Wapping, NI HQ!

NI? Northern Ireland?

The Times office isn't really in Central London if that is what you mean?
But he certainly isn't in NI, I have the interview on tape, it was about the Granada and UMN merger.

NI is News International !

Their HQ if you remember were the flashpoint of the union trouble in the mid-80s.
