Seven took its first break at 12:22 - Nine was on its second break by then. Regional viewers getting rolling coverage this afternoon though other news included. Nine’s first live report from London at 12:25.

Counting the number of times we seem the James Bond and Paddington clips.

Seven’s graphics are quite ugly. That voice over on their opener sounds terrible. It’s like a voice over from a horror movie trailer.

Sounds like John Stanton. He was the narrator of the Grim Reaper TV commercial :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: as well as the English language announcer for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Seven’s graphics are just basically their news graphics in a different palette while Nine have gone for a unique graphic set for the last week.
