The BBC Worm...

[SKII]

The debates have been being analysed in part by a piece of kit they are calling "The Worm" - a visual representation of the gut reaction of the audience to the sound bites they are listening to. Then the journalists sit and discuss the undulations and their implications.

An interesting addition to the table? Or a subtle way of influencing the thoughts of the audience at home? Or just an annoying distraction and a pain in the bahookey?

The biggest undulations tonight came for Farage and Sturgeon. Some big peaks but also some dropping off when both were more aggressive in their rhetoric. The biggest dip was when Farage suggested the audience were not very bright hand picked lefties...

Loadypish!! Or, as you more politely put it, an annoying distraction. I'm sure people could tell by the boos that Farage's statement wasn't popular without a squiggly line going down faster than Mikolounas in a penalty box

I have to say, I dinnae like it either - it's a pain in the bahookey. Still trying to work out the motivation for it though. :hmmm

Dunno I can't see it being anything that subconsciously (sp) affects your opinion though.

Vote Labour.

I guess it just gives the punditry another thing to talk about?

I feel a bit cynical about these debates, and about politics on telly in general. Like, I enjoy them, and when I watch it I quite enjoy question time, but I'm not sure I've ever genuinely learned a thing from any of it. To the extent where I don't think it's really the point. It seems more like a football match, really.

One where you can predict who is going to score and how...

So, a game involving the hun then.


Penalty...... :hmmm
