Assembly Extra Programme 6 is Now Online

Assembly Extra was launched in April 2012 as the new web-based programme developed by the Assembly’s Communications and Broadcast teams.  It is a mix of features, interviews and behind the scenes insights into the workings of the Assembly. 

Assembly Extra Programme 6 is now online.  If you’re in Parliament Buildings, you can watch Assembly Extra on the internal TV system (NIATV).  If watching it at home, visit http://nia1.me/extra.

In programme 6:

  • We take a look back at the Parliament Buildings 80th anniversary Open Day celebrations.  This very successful event saw almost 5000 people visit the building to mark the special occasion; and
  • although it’s 80 years old, we look at some recent improvements that make this a very modern building for all; and
  • we go behind the scenes of Question Time – one of the most important ways for the Assembly to hold Ministers to account. We find out why and how it happens.
