Often Channel 5 clip shows can be quite poor quality, a 5 second clip ripped from YouTube and then 2 minutes of Z listers discussing it at a most basic level
Did they have contributions of high profile names actually involved?
Other notable pieces:
- Showing BBC One fading out to black during Bargain Hunt to join Joanna Gosling on the News channel.
- Various pieces from the ITV News presentation on the day with Nina on the Lunchtime News and Mary later on.
- Huw Edwards made two very brief appearances. One out of vision/audio only appearance when they were trying to work out which royals were coming off the plane and also for the official announcement. I note they didn't show ITV's rather ropey delivery of the news.
- We were told of the code words and the various 'bridges' for the different royals.
- Dermot explained how he was the first journo outside Buckingham Palace and grabbed the best camera spot at Canada Gate for Sky News. They showed his first live hit as well.
- The delay in the official announcement was partly down to the cascading of the news of her death to 15 PMs in the commonwealth.
An interesting watch and worth checking out on My5 if you missed it.
It was interesting watching the part following the initial announcement as I was then on the radio myself doing rolling news, so missed it (some excerpts below for those interested)...
