The programme was extended to 45 minutes. It looks like they used a shorter edit of Homes Under the Hammer to get back on schedule. Did they do their own continuity or just play out the network ones (and arrange for a generic intro into the programme they were replacing?)

BBC Plymouth don't have their own continuity, they just use pre-recorded ones which always sound to me as if they are made by network.

I wonder if that shorter edit of HUTH comes with a pre-recorded CA?

I noticed later in that edition of Politics South West that the reason why the Presenter had pinched the Floor Manager's comfy chair was because he needed to be able to turn to speak to a guest on one of the other screens.  It's such a nice set, and so flexible.

I'm still unsure about the reason for the massive collection of mobile phones on the coffee table.
