Going back to discussing the separate Six and Ten programmes, I wondered whether anyone knew how many people it takes to produce the BBC News at Six and Ten?

It's hard to put a figure on that - do you include all the people who produce packages, operate cameras, report, design graphics, operate satellite trucks, make studio bookings, the meeters/greeters who put guests in front of cameras, the producers who build running orders, the directors and the gallery crew, the floor managers .. or is it just the number of people in the gallery during actual output ? In any case, even if an approximate number could be arrived at it's not the kind of thing that would be wise to share in a public forum unfortunately.

Has trundle cam been pre-recorded a lot this weekend?

It depends on whether or not you work for the Daily Mail.

Something seems to be wrong with the newsroom cam today and yesterday, the titles have either used a recorded shot or live static shots like this:

Probably busy untangling several sets of Christmas lights that have been stuffed away in the loft of BH all year , and got ladders out (with full PPE measures of course) to assemble the tree.

Or some kind of maintenance work must be happening in the newsroom, although having said that we must be due for the Christmas Tree being put up in the Newsroom.

Looks like Tim Willcox is playing himself in The 33, a film about the Chilean mine rescue a few years back:

(1m40)

But that looks like some pretty bad green screen (and probably all the wrong fonts?).

Edit: he was also, apparently, in Clueless Shocked

Tim's a good choice, he was actually there: https://youtu.be/hRdy2gx8_Kc?t=1m28s

Oh no yeah, I knew that. I well remember him doing a sterling job with his mutli-lingual interviews.

The BBC News at Ten had a live trundle cam shot at the TOTH as you could see Martine Croxall at one of the tables with the Papers guests. However, we had the recorded shot again at 11pm.
