Was Sian Williams ever branded a kop out for not going on strike? Bit pathetic if the whole corp goes on striker and a small few bother to work , they seem rather lame.

I think and correct me if I'm wrong at this time Sian Williams wasn't really on screen that much as she was a producer or editor for BBC News. It was like the 2005 Strike for the Regions, most Editors had to go on screen to present their bulletins.

Sian Williams was an editor on BBC News 24 then, but she also quite often presented the news together with Gavin Estler in the afternoon prime-time. She was asked once to replace one of the potential presenters before the channel was launched, and she performed so well that she was offered also to present the news. At least that's what I read on Wikipedia.

It was more like only the technicians and crew were on strike, and only those that were BECTU members. So it was hardly the "whole BBC" going on strike, just those with important "behind camera" jobs.

How is it lame working when everyone else is on strike? The strikers are the lame ones mate.

what are all those flags? I don't recognise where they're from.

I think they were supposed to be Fictional, although I'm sure I've seen the Scotland flag on there...

These were "generic" flag elements (stars, stripes, sun, various colors) which show up in various flags around the world. Kind of a "one world" spirit to it all. The globe theme which existed before and which came after in altered form (along with the famous music we know and love) seemed to represent a return to basics.

Wasn't this clip removed from YouTube awhile ago?

Nope, my account was removed, due to 3 copyright claims from ITV! Other than that the BBC don't mind...

ITV sucks in quite a few ways except from You've Been framed! that rules :D
