No TOTH pans at 12. The trundle cam was cued just as it stopped in the center of the newsroom, mixing to a static shot of Tim's left side.

A MMXIII has been added to the closing of BBC News bulletins, for example yesterday after the end of News at Ten with Riz.
To be honest, it looks very lost on screen…

Would it not be better underneath the BBC Box? - and all centred really - but I doubt that is easy

I agree with watchingtv. It looks crap like that.

It wasn't on the end of today's lunchtime bulletin, so it might have just been a mistake yesterday or a trial.

It shouldn't just say 'MMXIII' - there should at least be a '©' in there somewhere. '© BBC MMXIII'.

The Breakfast one is done properly with the bbc news logo and copyright details bottom centre so why do the broadcasting house boys come up with this Confused

the whole thing is a mess and because of it they cant cue the bbc news logo and theres a massive gap at the end, they shoukld just get rid of it, play the usual titles, do a long shot of the scene, then cue the presenter in.

I don't understand what you've posted there - however, if these are the long titles I have seen a few times before, they are fine.

I see the long titles are in sync now I swear last week it wasn't but there's that little gap at the end so somehow it needs a little extra shot of the scene or something but it's better now it's in sync.

Do BBC One usually crash into the NC after closedown? Surely it would make more sense to a)time the close of One to the hour or the half hour, b) run the filler until an appropriate time to cut in with the One announcer voicing over the filler saying what we are joining or c) run a headlines update with the midnight presenter and THEN cut in at an appropriate time.

It always crashes in.

The Paper review on BBC News has just cut to the BBC London Weather presenter. Fault caption now on BBC One, but stuck on the London Weather presenter on the News Channel.

BBC One now showing promos, but News Channel showing a silent rotating globe.

EDIT - Breakfast on air as normal.
