Wow! What an opening address from Gordon Brown.

Everything he hasn’t done before. Clear, forceful, he looked passionate and warned of peril. If he can maintain that he will do well but that may not be possible.

David Cameron was low-key on being in rut and the need to start “making things”. Nick Clegg’s talk of this election is about “you” sounded a little trite. Time to put the people before the politicians sounded a little over-rehearsed.
 
Cameron’s team said they thought Gordon Brown would be pumped up for this one and at his very best. Could they be right?
 
Postal votes are already being received and though the election is a week today some people will put their “X” on the ballot in the immediate hours after this programme.
 
David Dimbleby, as all 3 leaders expected, just ripped up the rules. He put the first question back to them with specific emphasis to make a point. Not in the rules but the rules are daft.
 
Not sure about the BBC set – morphing colours look like hallucinogenic waffles in the close ups.
