Some might say Larry has been one of the more respected residents of number ten over recent years. [/satire]

I'm guessing the may be able to shorten Strictly by a few minutes if needed by keeping the judges comments fairly brief. St this rate though BBC One may end up crashing into the second half of the six nations, rather than smoothly joining at half time.

Didn't I read somwhere that Strictly have to meet a certain curfew that they must finish all filiming at Elstree by 11pm? Bearing in mind they need enough time to allow the vote and then record the results show, delaying could push their filming schedule quite tight.

Couldn’t both half’s of the rugby be moved to bbc2 and the Sean Connery tribute moved to tomorrow.

The farce with all this is the media are more or saying the measures (they are led to believe) are definitely happening.
There's something fundamentally wrong (regardless of the wisdom or otherwise of the measures ) that we are learning everything third hand, and not from the horse's mouth.

Presser has started! #DowningStreetBriefing

I wouldn't be surprised that BBC One cuts to Strictly once they get to questions.

The BBC's feed of the slides is zoomed in and cropped, Sky have a full-screen feed.

"Next slide please"

Have Downing Street never heard of wireless presenter control devices?

Credit where credit is due, Reeta has been absolutely brilliant filling for 2+ hours. Top work.

They have a few minutes to play with as the rugby kicks off at 8.10 and switches at 9pm so they have about 10 mins to play with.

What is the BBC's obsession with that bloody ticker?

I was gonna say. Doesn't look like they were adhering to safe areas.

Couldn't see any of the NHS trust names on the "more than 100 coronavirus inpatients" slide.
