Originally I don't think they ever needed the blue lighting version day to day - it was only ever a contingency where as the other version was used every weekday.

True, I think the recorded version was only ever used for news at 5? But then you would think they would have one for situations like this where the trundle cam actually breaks. Is this the first time it’s been broken for this amount of time?

Pretty sure you're right. AIUI, the recorded shots used on the 5 and when the News Channel used to come from C pre-Covid were recorded before the News channel moved into studio E in 2013.

Do we know if the trundle cam is actually broken and there's not works happening in a part of the newsroom?

Today they appear to be using worlds graphics for TOTH and BOTH

I think they were re-recorded. They initially included at least three of the BBC News directors but when one of them left they changed them and the other two remained. Others may also have been included who I just don't know.

It’s not the World graphics, the World version globe is much lighter than the domestic one.
The BOTH is usually used before The Papers.
The trundle cam is back at 1330 but it looks like a section of the big round light fixture on the roof of the newsroom(apologies don’t know the proper name of it) is out.
Do they no longer simulcast the 1000 hour with World?
The sad consequence of anti-BBC rhetoric targetted directly at Newsnight correspondent Nick Watt, which I'll post as a link rather than embed. Fair play to GB News's Tom Harwood for condemning it unquestionably, but no doubt it's the sort of thing the likes of GB News and the tabloids are stoking up and it needs to stop before someone gets seriously hurt.

Trundle cam is still out of action. The George Alagiah is the only version I’ve seen since last week.

As for the round fixture, I seem to recall it being referred to as ‘the spaceship’ by mediaboy on the previous forum.

1330 on Monday was the only live trundle cam scene in the past few days. Then they returned to pre-recorded one at the TOTH and the globe sting at the BOTH.

It is very scary footage, some people really do have a deluded view of what the BBC is.

I felt very uncomfortable watching that! If this becomes the normal, this country is in big trouble.

A man has now been charged over the incident.
Does anyone know if the papers promo during the 6 headlines was actually from the balcony studio or if it was a green screen?
