Presume you mean this one?

I’d be surprised if they were using green screen in a studio packed with, well, screens.

Is there a similar promo asking Clive why he loves Election night?
Flicked through his own Twitter feed and didn't see one... in fact his Twitter is quite sweet really...

I wonder if it was wise from the BBC to put Laura as the presenter of Election Night.
Feelings will inevitably be quite high, and for better or for worse she's not built the best reputation which will then reflect in the public's opinion of the BBC's reporting of the election as a whole.

I'll see if a similar promo for Clive comes out, but even the wording at the end of the tweet "join me and Clive" when the convention is normally the other way round suggests that we might have another 'spin room' debacle where they're both clamoring to talk over each other. I guess we'll see in two days.

Of course this is delving into pure speculation now; do edit my post if I've gone too far.


In terms of the Election build-up as a whole I think the radio news teams have outshone the television news.
Mishal Husain and Nick Robinson have really been the stars of the BBC's election coverage for me and I do hope especially Mishal gets used a lot more.

I tallied up the R4 schedule for Election Night yesterday and poor Nick is going to be on-air for around 14 hours if he starts with the Election Night simulcast at 9:45 and goes on through Today until midday!
