I don’t want to be negative as it must be difficult to fill that bit of time leading up to 11o’clock for the two minute silence but I thought this year it was awful.

Maybe I’m remembering wrong but didnt they used to do an early weather then go back to the studio with about a minute or two to go. By the time they’d welcomed you to the special bbc news observing the two min silence etc it was then near enough time for the chimes. 

I just felt for Ben and the reporter whose name I missed. There isn’t a huge amount to say that hasn’t been said years before but it was just became inane drivel. They just seemed to repeat the words solemn, poignant, remembering, national/nation and moment but in a different order. I did feel sorry for him when he messed up the 11hour of the 11day of the 11 month. From that point he seemed to totally loose confidence and just rambled. 

Anyone else for a moment thought the BBC Oneness had returned!! That was just odd. Id rather have shots of people actually doing it not a group who were positioned for the camera, it looses its meaning as it’s feels it’s all set up for the camera.
