TV Director 0, Sign Man 1
It’s good to know that amidst the chaos there are still occasionally news items that will make you smile.
Like this moment on the BBC1’s 10pm news bulletin, captured by the great @mrnickharvey, in which the programme director did their damnedest to keep the protestors and their signs out of shot.
But it wasn’t easy, it really wasn’t easy. In fact, it was impossible.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the news in a long time.

Looking forward to the second leg tonight. And the third leg tomorrow. And the fourth leg …
He's even got a spotter at home on the phone to the man next to him telling him which camera is filming. You have to respect that attention to detail.

That final slow zooming in the 'Get your Johnson out of our democracy' sign as the camera focusses on Huw's face – you can just imagine the Director's impotent fury!! 😂😂

And just in case you’re wondering …
It has been brought to my attention that, with help from @dunc_saboteur and @suehard, Sign Man is @snb19692. Arise, Sir Steve.
