I was doing the eclipse commentary for BBC World TV from the time that Cornwall was blacked out until totality ended in India. I had alerted the BBC to the fact that EUMETSAT were going to be posting images of the eclipse onto their web site at 10 minute intervals, but they did not pick up on that. However, at short notice and maybe one circuit after the pictures were taken the BBC was able to show a short movie from Mir showing the shadow across what I assume was western Europe. From where I was in the studio there wasn't a good view of the TV monitor but the pictures didn't look to be high quality.
