Anyone who knows the internal BBC video archive software "Jupiter" knows that, yes, it's highly likely that footage from 2016 getting on air is a cock up rather than a malicious conspiracy
in fact, I just searched Jupiter and the top two results for "Johnson cenotaph" are something labelled "ANZAC day" and another labelled "leaders at cenotaph", which is the 2016 footage that accidentally went out on Breakfast this morning
So no, you wouldn't have had to comb through a dusty archive to get hold of that footage
Also in the system, and the only other footage that comes up after searching "Johnson cenotaph" is this of a D-Day commemoration held *the day after the 2015 General Election*. Slightly awkward hey.pic.twitter.com/yfsrqGj9cs
And right here this is why this story has traction. It's not about whether it's a mistake or not. It's that there's been enough of a pattern for people to assume it wasn't. It took insider explanations like Alex's for me to believe it wasn't.
funny though how these cock-ups only seem to happen in one direction. whereas a labour leader wears a slightly downmarket coat and it runs for days and days. Years in fact, if you're Michael Foot.
The endless shots of Big Ben without scaffolding at the moment can testify to this
Clearly you have experience with the software that most of us don't, but I don't see how that could have resulted in it accidentally cut together with the footage from this year? It switches from one to the other, which feels like a bit of a red flag to me....
In a way, this doesn't surprise me given that the search tool on the BBC website is singularly unusable.
