Sky News Again

I’m not entirely convinced that Sky News have quite got their new widescreen system sorted out.
Viewed on a 4:3 TV, there are some strange distortions in some clips, in particular, people appearing wide and fat (as opposed to the tall and thin you might expect). It means that close ups of Adam Boulton become especially scarey.
More seriously, the people running their captions need to realise that not everyone is viewing in widescreen, so they need to stop letting words disappear off the right of the screen.
Annoyingly, the scaffolding put up by the company next door to us has made terrestrial television nearly unwatchable now, so no Murray v Henman for us this afternoon (unless I want to watch it online). But then, having gone to bed watching the World Series, and then woken up to find it was still being played, in what was the longest ever World Series game lasting 5 hr 41 mins, I’ve probably seen enough sport today.
