If memory serves, The Ten also did a quick turn around and had Huw flown out during the day to cover the announcement (but my memory is getting a bit ropey there).
I think you’re right - I was working on the radio coverage, but from what I can remember it was a Saturday evening and BBC 1 carried a special for a good hour or so, presented by Huw Edwards in Rome.
