In the great days of dancing to popular music recordings, Top Rank Suites, like all iconic performing institutions, would save their best lighting effects until the end of the evening.
So it was for the news on BBC1, on its first day of HD output from Broadcasting House. At 10, blue lights played on the enormous pillars of the two storey news-space, and the giant lampshade of NEWS pulsed, as the camera swooped down to
Disco Huw at the
wheels of steel newsdesk. I suspect the blue light caused a little flaring on tvs with less than 1080 lines, but then, that's progress - isn't it ?
