Something I’ve noticed at the end of the Ten when they throw to the nations and regions, very often (although not always) on the Studio B Celebrity Squares wall of regional presenters, the Leeds presenter is pictured seated on the sofa, but as soon as it cuts to them we see them stood by the tower screen, and after the titles they continue to deliver the first story from there.

So I’m wondering what’s going on. Are they feeding a recording to London for the video wall? And if so, why bother? Or is, as seems more likely, the beginning of the programme and intro to the first story pre-recorded, which I thought was against the BBC’s rules?

I’ve never noticed this at the end of the One, and I rarely get to see the end of the Six these days, so no idea if it happens then.
