On much later than normal due to a lot of stupid people running,
they're doing a piece on the Tory party conference and announces a
'talking heads' shot of Kenneth Baker by having the presenter of the
piece, Gillian Hargreaves, sitting down at a table, opening a laptop
where a superimposed picture of him appears, and then the video
footage of him talking starts and it zooms out to fill the TV screen.

Why do something like that rather than just introduce the piece
normally????

I've noticed this kind of thing before.
Quite pointless. Perhaps they think we're going to be impressed
co they've got laptops or something.
