Mark Devenport | 17:14 UK time, Monday, 26 January 2009

Daithi McKay asked the Assembly Commission about the possibility of putting video of the chamber proceedings on Youtube, but Basil McCrea wanted to go further. Shouldn't the assembly have its own dedicated satellite TV channel, he suggested, as its proceedings had the makings of a good soap opera.

The chair, David McClarty did not appear convinced. "At last a cure for insomnia" he quipped before moving to the next speaker.

    We shouldn't forget that the Beeb cancelled The Folks on the Hill.

    Now putting all 108 MLAs into a satellite and launching towards Uranus might be a better plan. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon which at least have a purpose.
