On Lola's thread RD has accused 66 of apathy in the running of their night shows. I'd agree that most often things look that way but, as TheProf has already hinted, I'd say Lola's depature, and debut for the opposition that same night, actually made a palpable mark on 66's late shows.
In fact I'd go further and say that all of the 66 night crew seemed very switched on, active and attentive to what they were about for once last night. There was a definite sense of urgency from those onscreen and a much welcome focus on good camera positioning and tolerance to somewhat stronger visual content, than is the norm, throughout. This would seem likely to be an effort of combative desire from those left behind to compete with the defection of Lola. The other side was not to be allowed to dominate all attention.
This is what proper competition will inspire in this industry. That it took something as internal as this to provoke such a visible reaction from these people is actually quite damning in itself though. Unfortunately, it could be drawn from last night that these things are only deemed necessary on occasions when they need viewers eyeballs more that they do normally.
But, at its simplest, we can say if it can be like this once it can be the same always; Caty and Anna put on the sort of sessions yesterday that are a template for what babeshows in 2018 should look like EVERY night.
