Firstly, a panoramic view...
This Marquee had live web terminals as well as random free stuff.
OOH! What's it's serial number, sir!?
A more scenic view.
And now the science bit, in the form of the OB vans.
Interview hotseats.
The "What Do You Think?" notice board.
So, now you know.
Apparently they've even had Bus Spotters coming along to see them.
Oo-er!
Scary!

so i know my stuff so to speak.
one day i was walking through leeds and came across one of those police video vans
that everyone must see in their home town hanging around. the side door was open so being
the curious monkey that i am i popped my head around. what greeted me was all too familiar.
basically a small outside broadcast unit with monitors, video recording camera control
sound - the lot basically. about £250,000 worth of stuff.
nice to know that the police are spending our money wisely and not wasting it
on poor quality civilian monitoring equipment.

I was also hinting at how Television ultimately started to make it more 'morally acceptable' (with Gameshows, Fly-on-the-wall documentaries etc, and live News coverage) for us to live in a voyeur-vision culture.
The thing that is also interesting is the way in which the broadcaster (in this case the BBC) rebrand/revise reality in their own name, in this case, it's the "BBC Election".
It could just as easily be (given worst case conditions) "The Pepsi Elections".
Perhaps I should have made these things more explicit, then maybe we wouldn't have got the first stupid comment above, although I'm sure many of you were clever enough to work this out for yourself when you saw the pictures.
That is why I went along to photograph this media happening.
The spectacle culture roadshow, coming to a town where you live.
