BBC News Channel General Discussion

They ordinarily do stay blue after 10pm, although until when after that time we can't be sure because the NC joins World at the 1am TOTH. I don't remember the lighting turning blue for the 10pm bulletin on BBC One so it simply might not have happened for whatever reason tonight - I was watching the Papers earlier and it was normal lighting then too. They had a third guest on because of the Royal Baby, and there was a mildly amusing moment near the start where the presenter had a conversation with the gallery on-air about what paper they were talking about first as they were on different running orders.

Unlike normally on bank holidays, the BBC News at Five is continuing as normal from Studio C

Someone is not happy about the coverage of the royal baby. She got through that well. Credit to OP.

It looks like we are getting our first glimpse at the Election studio at Ten tonight

Whats up with the trundle tonight, seemed fine at the 9 pm TOTH but had the Langham Cam since?

9pm uses a recorded clip of the trundle cam because Studio A and Studio C does not have access to control the camera, not sure if they have a feed of it though.


10:25 uses the normal newsroom shot to look at the front pages before the weather. But always uses the, again, recording of the outside shot at 10:30.

However today, because of the 10 being in the election studio, the outside shot was used for both stings (both recorded) as Rebecca was at the desk for them both.

Oh okay, don't normally watch The Papers but it's good that the camera is used not just for breakdowns and faults!

Thanks for explaining, much more clearer now!

How far from BH is the election studio? Could Huw present the 5 from Studio C and be over and ready to present the 10 or will the 5 be covered by someone else?

You could easily do it in that time, although whether it would be practical in terms of prep for the 10 is another matter.
