Built by..., driven by...

Sticky moments on the BBC1 Six O'Clock bulletin last night: the motorised camera that swings across Dr Evil's Volcano News Lair failed to swoop properly, and one of the other robot cameras, controlled by software called Mosart, seemed to get stuck behind one of the studio shower curtains. It may have just been because Fiona Bruce was required to stand for the lead item, and no-one had adjusted the settings for this dangerous innovation...












\For a moving version of the schemozzle, got to around 1.05 in, on iPlayer.

This sort of thing is a pretty regular occurrence on the News Channel, but watch the bosses sit up and take interest in Mosart and its limitations after a mainstream glitch...
