Not sure about the choice of getting The Unknown from Willy’s Chocolate Experience to do parkour and carry around the Olympic torch. #BBCOlympics
Sailing along the Seine, with a man playing an accordion on the bridge above has to be the most fantastically French thing to do. I love it. #BBCOlympics

Excellent news for the BBC, and the UK, from the latest figures from GAM, the authoritative Global Audience Measure: 450 million people worldwide access the BBC each week, up 3.5 m on last year. 414 m access BBC News, up 2.5 m. BBC World Service radio is up 2.3m to 320 m.

100s of BBC staff use our in-house iPhone/iPad PNg to record, edit & send video, audio & photos at broadcast standards into BBC systems
Usually 2000 items are filed a day.
Since midnight, it’s over 5,600.
Well done to all the reporters, producers & tech team behind this success.

The BBC had a camera - a smartphone, of course - live-streaming pictures from every single election count.
Here is how it was done, in terms of kit. For the signal, it was a sim card bonding to wifi at the venue.
Story of the night: a candidate dressed up as Elmo standing against Sir Keir Starmer, a man who was about to become Prime Minister, got 19 votes.
You may be wondering, ‘how does the BBC do a live stream on the election on polling day itself?’
Dogs. Lots and lots of dogs. Also Larry the Downing Street Cat!
