Ten O Clock News Grumble

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

i hate the patronising graphics. all that rubbish 'writing' on the wall in the mike baker schools report. how dumb do the bbc think we are?

[SherlockLGJ]

They are going for the yoof market I presume.

[HuwEdwards]

agree, bloody irritating. Should come with a warning.....'Caution, may contain news'

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

even panorama last night was infected. moody shot of reporter standing in warehouse with enormous image of a gun projected onto the wall behind him. why?!

have a word huw...

[HuwEdwards]

consider it done.

[edam]

hmmmm do you know, I'm just beginning to have a very slight suspicion you may not be the Huw Edwards given you were posting at 10.23.

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

either huw isn't who he claims he is or they're not even doing the news live anymore.
i think we should be told!
you record it don't you huw? admit it! the final insult to the audience.
it was only a matter of time.

[ediemay]

and Mastermind is getting easier
even the general knowledge questions

[thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat]

I so agree. They're such a load of bobbins. DH and I are often to be found hurling abuse at them

[thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat]

Mastermind is not getting easier. I am getting more knowledgeable.

Kirsty Wark just said "blogtastic"

Crikey bikey

[Orlando]

Sat there in wine induced stupor squinting at screen and wondering why the writing didn't line up with the perspective lines on the brickwork during that report. I mean, if they're trying to persuade us it's graffiti they should have made sure it was done properly, surely?

What was the article about again?

[Gingerbear]

and why are they standing up? (a la ITN)

[Gingerbear]

and why is Natasia kerplunky still on 6 o'clock news?

[HuwEdwards]

You know the newsreaders have laptops in front of them whilst reading the news? Well I Mumsnet while you listen to the various foreign correspondents...oh yes and when you all bugger off to hear your 'local' news.

[ediemay]

I don't believe you, you're shopping for fetish gear

[HuwEdwards]

Nope, had to put the breaks on the fetish gear since we've been directed to stand whilst presenting.

[ediemay]

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

'blogtastic'?!?! that warrants a complaint to the duty log. shocking.

[Tutter]

huw, can i just say that i'm not at all keen on your ties. does mrs huw buy them (is there a mrs huw?) or is there a bbc news stylist?

[HuwEdwards]

Tutter I make them all myself.

[southeastastra]

i wish the newsreader (whatever his name is) would sort his make up out!! he looks like max headroom

[EnormousChangesAtTheLastMinute]

i like your ties huw. and i think you are a very nice man and also like your accent. just wish there were fewer boring 'rp' voices on the bbc. can't you bang your drum on this?! esp radio four. hour after hour of polite middle class accents. it drives me INSANE. just snobbery. rant rant.
