Louise was definitely a frequent presenter of Breakfast in its N6 and TV7 eras, particularly once Kate Silverton started appearing less frequently. I think a send-off was probably deserved, too, given that she was also leaving the BBC and had been a familiar BBC One face, too, presenting the News at One and weekend bulletins for several years.
Possibly a dumb question, but might her send-off video being Salford-dominated also have had something to do with (ease of) access to pre-Salford clips? I imagine everything from the period in question (since 2001) would be stored digitally, but would video of a presenter (that wasn’t otherwise newsworthy content) from the TVC era be stored on a server or archive that producers and video editors in Salford could have easily accessed without too much trouble?
It would be interesting to know how such videos are compiled, actually, from the perspective of how clips are actually identified in the first place. Does someone ‘tag’ funny moments shortly after they happen anticipation for future use, or does it rely on someone going back and finding interesting or funny moments either from memory or at random?
