Live, Laugh, Local Elections

Newscast

Available for over a year

Is John Curtice on TV? Yes! And so is Newscast. The results of England’s local elections have started coming in, so Newscast have woken up early (or stayed up all night) to talk about what it all means in a special live episode, broadcast on BBC iPlayer. Adam is joined in the studio by Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason fresh from reporting on the results overnight. Professor Sir John Curtice tells us how he’s crunching the numbers, Alex Forsyth calls in from Salford and Vicki Young dials in from her breakfast table. Today’s Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Miranda Slade. The technical producer was Ben Andrews. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
