Is it me, are are they being very sneakily funny?
Showing a political story about redacted information, they had some spokesman on with a caption at the bottom of the screen saying who he was, then the caption blacked out rather than disappearing (and I swear I heard some sort of 'poing' sound effect).
Later on, discussing the BBC's dropping of the Savile enquiry. Flip back to the studio to change subjects, the anchor starts "now then, (another story...)"
Are they always like this? Is it a one-off, or a coincidence, or am I seeing things? I don't normally watch C4 News (or indeed, news) and am only half-watching at best now.
wait for the pistorius story - then you'll know for sure
They do it quite a bit.
Makes a refreshing change, but it can come across as a bit smart arse occaisionally.
You hear a similar thing on the radio now and then, an announcer or presenter will try and cram a load of film or album titles into a piece - obviously an in joke amongst colleagues but can come across as a bit patronising if it's too obvious.
The Radio Times went through a phase many years ago where the programme descriptions appeared to have been written by a very sarcastic, disgruntled soon to be ex employee, who had recently discovered mushrooms.
Very funny at the time, but someone put a stop to it after a while.
I think C4 news is by far the best around and has been particularly good this week.
That's obviously the way it's presented, not the actual news.
I watch C4 news virtually every day, great programme.
They've really got it in for* (the alleged sleezeball ) Lib Dem Lord Rennard, two consecutive nights repeating the accusation interviews in full.
* deserves it the (alleged) diiiirty 'stard.
