Wouldn’t be surprised if the Manchester debate has the better production as well as the better slot.

Tonight’s Liverpool debate is a basic looking affair coming from the old Open Space at Radio Merseyside (once used as a temporary set by NWT in the lead up to the 2007 rebrand)

Infact, it’s very much like ‘Radio Merseyside on telly’ - it’s being chaired by their long-standing political correspondent, Claire Hamilton (the debate also went out on RM at midday)

The West Yorkshire debate was broadcast as live as an OB from Halifax

The cameras they use mustn’t be network quality though as when there is any sort of movement the picture goes jerky like the frame rate isn’t right

In regards to the time shift, it was the regular Leeds ‘announcer’ who did the intro into the Eddie the Eagle film
