Commonwealth Games - BBC coverage

Yeah. Sounds like they haven't got a direct link to the PA so are just using their own mics.

When doesn't it on these occasions?

Anyone want to place a bet on the scale of overrun?

Scheduled to finish at 11pm, realistically midnight.

Well the weekend news is scheduled for 22:50...

Virgin EPG is saying the news is at 11pm...

The BBC website disagrees.

It probably won't be too far off 11pm - the closing ceremonies are usually far shorter. Kind of says it all though that so far the most entertaining thing has been the speeches.

Depends if they've made an allowance for all the massive pauses this time round.

Great what they have been able to do with the screens.

Would have been even better if it had actually worked as designed.

Is it just me or is the TV direction/vision mixing really missing the beat, cutting to re-frames, missing fireworks, using very poor shots during music? It's like everything is reactive to what is happening rather than having a script to follow in advance. Seeing scenes being reset, shots of bored looking people etc?

Also a massive "fan" of the commentary you can't here over the audience presenter/voice.
