To be clear: this will prove that it was filmed no earlier than the broadcast, but not necessarily at the exact time; it's very easy to play an earlier radio segment.Gerry1 said:Just take a short video of the meter including a DAB radio showing the date and time and playing a Radio 4 news bulletin.1 -
