David Dimbleby is the son of Richard Dimbleby, who anchored BBC television coverage of many special events during the 1950's and early 1960's until his death in 1965. In the late 1950's, the elder Dimbleby was often referred to in the 'States as "The Walter Cronkite of England" because of his skill in anchoring breaking news, something Cronkite was also very adept at.

I know you posted this 3 years ago, but man same for me, I was actually working on an architectural model at the time and was on a deadline so I worked all night through the election coverage, when he won I was just so happy. His speech even made me cry a bit, I'm from Mexico btw.

I think its good we have a global outlook, something the BBC had done well for decades... imagine we decided to keep broadcasting to the UK only and didn't provide the hope and help to millions during WW2 (not least freedom fighters), we don't just focus on the UK because we are a global world politically, social and economically - thats why the BBC has coverage of many elections around the globe.

I like the opening music. I wonder if the BBC will use it for the next UK General Election, or revamp the 2005 edition of "Arthur"? Comments anyone?

I agree, the US networks seemed to spend most of their time talking to people standing on streetcorners, most of who just kept saying HOPE and CHANGE it's a historic day etc, it was boring after about 5 mins. As for money, the US corps have to make money and that means advertisement breaks (which they hate having during 'breaking news' like this, the BBC has no adverts and makes no money.

Obama's visit to No 10 was memorable, how about Berlin? I hope he does America proud and change their views of the world. Not many Americans including a certain Sarah P know the difference between a country or a continent or names of countries in these continents,..the shocker of them all I was asked by an American if they speak English in my country England. bah! Its high time a really..really educated man became the president of the USA.

@elmatador451 This is true. But the truth is that countries which have little global power, tend to be more aware of the world, as they have to be. India, Brazil, and large nations tend to cover more of their country because they are cultural, economic, and political heavy weights.

@rtnash420 If you take out the bias, it's still a poor excuse of a news channel just by style and execution. It's endless commentary with a heaping side of mudslinging. I cannot recall the last time I saw a journalist just giving us some news. And their current special on "liberal media bias"? It doesn't matter which channel does this and what slant they're taking on, it's downright disgusting to air something like this on a channel that's supposed to give information.

While I kind of agree, you understand that while Countries such as England and France still wield considerable influence internationally (particuarly in their former colonies) the US is the 700 pound gorilla in the world. It's natural most things happening outside would seem secondary to us cause, we really are the movers and shakers of the world. (In a broad general sense of course)
