It was the story of the Belgian woman who's been enabled to conceive again after radiotherapy treatment had left her infertile. The 3D model used in the visual aid looked very Vicki-like. Did anyone else catch it?
(puts anorak away...)
And it was nice to have a really good, positive news story in the middle of all that's going on at the moment.

30 seconds to 48 seconds. Hmmm... I don't know. It's hard to tell on the streaming media and I didn't watch it last night. (I get a little bitter about fetility breakthroughs when they still refuse to fund my IVF because I have a stepchild.) I'm pretty sure I've seen Poser models used on BBC before, but generally Posette and Dork. After all, the BBC is publicly funded, so there's no excuse for buying extra models ;-)"you are terrifying

Yes, I saw it and my immediate reaction was, that's a Poser model, probably Vicki.

The itv news uses poser, too. They use it with some court room scenes.
