Not the one o'clock news, surely?

Yesterday on the BBC news, there was quite a Monty Python moment. As Rory Cellan-Jones did a report on discrepancies between advertised broadband speed and actual broadband speed, he concluded it in an office, but behind him, head obscured and on knees (and presumably hands) on the floor was a woman in a polka-dot dress. The other bods in the office as the camera panned out were typically disinterested, but as this was a recorded news item (prior to his appearance being interviewed by the news anchor in the studio) why on earth didn't they tell the woman to get up and then film it again? Were they running short on tapes? Was it a dare? Simply silly, but it makes the story memorable.
With their second in a row 'and finally' item, the Beeb showed amateur footage of a four-foot long cat (not including tail) in Faslane in Scotland. That's where they keep the nuclear subs. There wouldn't be any connection to those reports of contamination being leaked into the Clyde River and an abnormally-sized cat, now would there?
