ITV has posted 8 hours of their coverage of the 2015 general election on You Tube.

Someone has posted the BBC coverage on YouTube in two separate videos, which means Andrew_S doesn't have to (unless he wants to post it in 10 minute segments  - joking) |

The show it also available on iPlayer at the moment and I think is going to be on there for 12 months. As I mentioned elsewhere ITN have put their coverage on YouTube. It's a pity the BBC once again didn't use the Rick Wakeman music at the start of the show. |

The one good thing about the 10 minute segments (which was the only way to do it at the time) was that it allowed people to comment on the limited number of results, discussions, etc. that had happened during those minutes. When the whole thing is uploaded in two or three parts that obviously isn't possible.

As I said elsewhere I recorded ITN at the time, have just watched it back, and intend to delete it immediately as worthless.
BBC wss somewhat better, but what I would really like is a full recording of the Sky coverage.

I recorded Sky on DVD but I won't be able to put it on YouTube because I tried that with the 2010 coverage and they blocked it. |

ITV's coverage was regarded by some as actually better than the Beeb's in 2010 - what was so bad about it this time?

Closer inspection of the BBC coverage I mention above has made me realise it only covers the time up until David Dimbleby finishes his final shift after 40 years anchoring these events, at 7am.
The aftermath, anchored by Huw Edwards, has yet to be posted. It features the Morley and Outwood declaration and takes us all the way to the last declaration in St. Ives, among lots of other things.

I have the BBC coverage starting at I think about 9:30am (can't remember for certain), which I recorded when BBC Parliament showed it again on Saturday. |

Have you by chance got a recording of BBC1 at 9:17am on Friday morning? At that point I noticed Gavin Barwell's two oldest sons (age 12 and 9) on TV (they got up early to come and watch the declaration). I emailed Gavin to let him know but I don't know if they got a chance to see themselves on TV. |

It won't be on my copy since I'm not in the London region: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05wkqh9/election-2015-english-regions-election-results-london-2015 |

There's now a video which includes BBC coverage lasting from 7am to 2pm. Still doesn't take us up to the St. Ives declaration, although this been posted in a separate video. |

The BBC seemed to give up on putting results on the screen by themselves. They either showed results at the time of the declaration or with Emily Maitlis on the big screen.

Not only that (they probably thought anyone really interested could look up the voting figures on the website), but
- they were counting down the number of seats left and how many the C needed to 'win' without telling us even by cross-screen flashes which seats were being declared
- they were remarkably bad at projecting the final number of seats and how big the overall majority would be. As far as I could see there were no late surprises yet they were still saying the C would only have 328 or 329 with 13 seats to go. There is a difference between what Huw Edwards seemed to think would be a majority of 3 or 4, and 12 plus the Speaker and Sinn Fein effects.
- this is exactly what they used to be able to do in the 'old days' of David Butler. One of the few good things of the night, by the way, was seeing David being wheeled on (not literally) and still compos mentis at the age of 90. Frankly he may still be able to do a better job than those there all night and day.
