Sky News need to do more documentaries and behind the scenes.

Today Beth Rigby is making the judges woodland venison, pork belly, truffle with a oak-smoked consommé and a tonka bean panna cotta with dark chocolate & salted caramel foam

Could watch one of these documentary videos every week. Actually, I'd like to.

Brilliant doc. Kay was the wrong woman to front the election night coverage though. It should have been Sophy

[ceebee]

watched it LIVE on the day.... here in Australia ....fascinating to see the behind the scenes.... thank folks!

[michaelrayment]

Fascinating stuff, top tv. Only one concern, I was expecting the voiceover chap to describe something on a plate with a lovely rich sauce!

[anthonyalao]

Wonderful
Kudos to everyone on the team.
Team work makes the dream work.

[BurgerSox]

I was out of the country and couldn't access BBC on Youtube. Was able to track down a stream from Sky, ITV and C4. Was switching between them. Sky's was the most professional and speedy in terms of the actual results, C4's was the most fun and ITV's was pretty bog standard not particularly bad or good - but worth watching dependent on what guests they were interviewing. From what I have read elsewhere it seems I did not miss out by not seeing the BBC's coverage.

I've used Sky News as my main source of the news for a few years now, but on election night I had the four main broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & Sky News) running the coverage. Sky News' production value was truly head and shoulders above the rest.

I was out the country for the election unfortunately so due to location restrictions, I had to change from the regular BBC coverage to exclusively Sky. Was majorly impressed with the manner they conducted it in. Fascinating to see behind the scenes!

The brilliant Sean Pertwee doing the voiceover

[MattMaloneMD]

I love them talking about how terrible it would be if they published the wrong exit poll numbers, how appalling that would be, and how they're never live it down.... and then GB new did just that!

[eIucidate]

So the people who were shown the exit poll results early had been so on a "need to know" basis... Does this include the cameraman?!!!

Who’s the narrator? Voice sounds so familiar but I can’t put a name on it
