BBC on Jubilee

Spotted the East Midlands Today van outside Newark earlier, not sure what it's here for, any ideas? The news starts at 6:30 and I want to get myself on it :biggrin:

And now, it has developed an erection :P

Hmm I hadn't thought it might be radio...

They've turned the big satellite round on the top though...

I saw it there earlier when I was walking home from my 4.00. Might V+ it for later.

Just been to have a look inside through the big window - there's a cameraman and reporter with big red microphone in there so will definitely be TV by the looks of it.

Very interesting in there, I did Work Experience at Midlands Today in Birmingham and it's like a mini version of 'the Gallery' inside...

6:30 if anyone's interested, BBC1.

Oh I bet it's the Meningitis thing we have going on in the Atrium!

Nah it was the Meningitis thing in the Atrium, slightly eventful for a boring Tuesday evening :smile:

I was watching the filming from outside the Atrium and my neighbour was the one that got swabbed. The van aerial thing came down and the satellite folded over as soon as the piece had finished, they went about 10 mins after so I doubt it was the protest thing...

Sounds like some very promising research, it'll be interesting to see the developments!

They are taking swabs and injections in the Atrium tonight (and before christmas) to discover germs that students have or something like that, I can't remember the detail but basically they are trying to cure meningitis or something along those lines - might be worth watching East Midlands today later this evening or on iPlayer or something for details, though there are posters for it in the atrium and around Jubilee :smile:
