Balance

Yesterday's big stories were at Wembley and Chesham & Amersham. The racy boys and girls at BBC News tv bulletins decided to devote the first 12 minutes of a 28 minute early evening slot to football - before the match had kicked off. Naturally, the result needed a measured and thoughtful response, so at ten o'clock it was again 12 minutes into a 32 minute bulletin before we got to the Libdem by-election victory. 

Newsnight was at the heart of it - coming from the set used by BBC Breakfast in MediaCity. Local rules seem to mean that, while lightbulbs can now change some colours, the red sofa can't be moved, draped, or covered with cushions.  By the way, Faisal, the programme's political editor is Nicholas Watt, not Watts.
