BBC News (UK) presentation - Reith launch onwards

Thought I’d share this: https://youtu.be/Iz1r0AVtZZ4

The cameras moving so fast, hope nobody watching had motion sickness! Didn’t know the cameras could extent to being that tall. Few throwbacks too, Robert Peston and Reeta as the education correspondent. As well as the old look sport - looks dingy to me.

Oh, how times change...

Seems weird for two Sport presenters to appear

look how 'normal' Peston looks!

Yes that fast zoom in across the newsroom was used on the Six & Ten for about the first year or so in NBH, I seem to remember. Personally I never liked it. Always felt as though the camera was going to crash into something or someone. Much preferred the gentle pan around the newsroom which was used on the News Channel.

Why is Simon holding a pack of A4 paper after the titles? 😂

It's all part of his shtick

He accidentally picked it up in the rush of fast paced rolling news.

In no way whatsoever was it deliberate. 😉

I don't think we'll ever know the truth on that one. EIther way it's classic McCoy.

Ticker still showing breaking news from about 10 hours ago anticipating the daily briefing.

I’m sick of seeing the ticker in breaking mode. Constantly flashing away with hours old news, which is important but not breaking news. Like BREAKING is for a story that has maybe broke in the past hour (then the flipper should go back to normal) or a story that is constantly developing e.g. terrorist attack (but should go back to normal when it’s clear there are going to be no more constant developments). Like they need to sort it out, was enjoying when it was in normal mode for a few hours this afternoon.

Possibly a technical fault or shortage of Human Resources to input the updates due to reduction in personnel numbers in the relevant office?

But you’re right. It’s been flashing the same thing for hours on end.
