Isn't there a 22:30h end to a lot of events in London?
I think there have been previous concerts that have had to finish
quickly to avoid a fine.

about an hour or so of idle chit chat before and after any event.
The show itself had to end at 22:30 hrs, that's normal for large outdoor concerts, to avoid waking up local residents (err, hang on)

Someone not paid for the links after 2230?

Shame nobody thought to book a bit extra for potential late running.

How do you know they don't have a modern IP contribution network?
Would you like to know how many Megabits are currently being used for something like Springwatch? When I looked at the routers about half an
hour ago the two links were running at about (Mbps) 256 RX / 130 TX and
253 RX / 64 TX.
Scanner output (in our car park) goes on conventional HD-SDI fibre
circuits even though it's all done as IP over BT's infrastructure.

The Sunday afternoon thing was certainly weird for quite a while at the >start. All commentators and hardly any FX.
The Saturday evening thing was odd in several places. The dreadful echo
on Lee Mack for one.
There was a strange moment on the Sunday evening compilation
programme. When they played the Paddington excerpt, it began with
the sound track doubled with a delay. They managed to kill one of
the sounds, but it was the wrong one. Eventually they got it
right. It seemed pretty unusual for a pre-recorded broadcast.

Some people seem to think that that Paddington video was a 'deep fake'
CGI rendering ? (The Queen of course, obviously not the bear)

Probably at least as valid as the James Bond and parachute sequence in
2012 at the Olympics.
Who cares anyway? It was certainly approved by Her Majesty, even if
they used an actress to play her part.

My first thought was that it was; some very minor aspects I'd be hard
pressed to define.
It was fun. (Though I was sad we've moved to the American need for something/someone to make a mess.)

So you're saying that the Queen may have been CGI or an actress, but Paddington was real ;-)

The Daily Mail has an article today on the people who did the drone
display.

Calendar, the ITV local news for the various Yorkshire regions, had an interview with the creator a few days ago. He said that testing was very difficult because it would have given the game away, so they had to do
the testing in some very remote (and unidentified!!!) location.

Since most of us could only watch it on TV it might as well have been CGI.
Shades of, "Watch the 1999 solar eclipse on TV or you'll go blind!" and "Watch the millennium fireworks on TV or you'll be crushed to death or
fall in the Thames!"
