Reporters Standing Outside Places

You are watching News At 10 when the news reader says "We can now go live to our reporter outside 10 Downing Street."
Cut to a reporter standing in the cold and dark outside a building.

Why is he there late at night?

What can he say that couldn't be said in the studio?

Is the prime minister going to pop out and divulge some extra info? NO!


Why waste money sending an outside broadcast unit to stand in the cold and dark and tell us nothing new?
