Seeing the early days of scd I'd like it if they could reduce the osg phone numbers for next year- they are crap.

I'd also like some captions of how the phoneline osgs used to be like btw.

I do know what you mean.

The graphics changed when the link to Children In Need was dropped.

What is it about the current graphics you don't like?

they clutter the bottom of the screen too much and it's annoying.

Wonder if it's an ofcom thing that bigger osgs were legislated in the first place?

The numbers have always displayed across the screen like than and IIRC, there used to be even more because I think you used to be able to vote by text as well as by phone.

What did you have in mind instead?

Perhaps they're catering to the more visually challenged than yourself Paul? Lots of little ol' folks watch SCD who mightnt be able to see the numbers.

It could be something like that, but tbh I think the text (including the phone numbers) is too small compared to the space the graphics take up.

I'd need to see some examples of how it could be done better. No doubt at the moment everything is produced according to the chosen 'house' style for the show.

even if people don't agree with me I do have some valid points imho.

^^^^^^^ The bbc should realise in regards to graphics that it is our show, not theirs.
Tall Paul

Forgot to say that the bbc seem to reckon that the osgs seem to increase sales and pep up revenue. What they are doing as well is cluttering up the screen unnecessarily.
