[DTV]

I feel that the fact that the cameras could move was such a big plus - just made the presentation that bit more dynamic. Though you did have some movement at TVC, it was limited and often only served to underline how restricted the camers were - a bit like how wide shots mainly just emphasised how cramped the studios were. In comparison, the tight shots at TVC actually always looked quite good.

Though I do like the Furios, particularly when compared to the electric friends, my favourite camera work at NBH was always the manual operators in Studio B. It was fairly subtle, but the different camera 'language' (in terms of framings, pans, etc.) for the various BBC World News programmes really helped to make each of them feel individual. It's why I'd prefer them to go down a fully robot peds route than the tracked camera route - tracks are just a bit limiting for a multi-use studio - there just isn't the freedom or flexibility to give different programmes their own style.
