Doesn't seem to look too difficult actually the raised plinth with the OKTV! sofa may not need to move much at all

There was a shot yesterday I believe at the start of OK!TV showing to the left of their set, there appeared to be part of the set starting, as though they share the studio, but there are two similar sets, one for OK!TV taking up most of the studio from one corner & a news one to the left of that.

If you look at the furthest left big screen on the OK!TV set, there are no smaller screens immediately to the right & left of it.

I think there is only one set, the smaller screens are there, they are bordered in red and show a red image similar to the background so they blend in.

sorry if I'm stating the obvious but it's the same set, but 5 News uses the left and OKTV the right. I imagine its so if for whatever reason they can't clear the OKTV set, then they can just adapt the shot to disguise any clearing work going on. I'd be interested to know how far round the set goes. Are they still in the same studio as pre-Natasha Kaplinsky? (the massive orange studio)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pTBcBKFDSo even for a news update they made the effort for a wide shot.
I could go on posting these...


A really good multi purpose studio. I liked the shots from the balcony. But it had the sofa for good interviews. I am gutted I never really got to watch the 11.30 bulletin weekdays.

On closer inspection is does appear so. My apologies, maybe they have a mirror on the edge of the set which just reflected this on the angle that I saw. also what is the point of those tiny screens anyway, too many screens on the set not really showing anything.
As for the original sky era of five news, that set was brilliant, different angles for updates, the sofa for interviews and the big screen for live's. The use of the height in that studio was utilised through that set. It's a shame that the future sets have not done this.

Yes, that's the set I meant. On that picture you can tell it fits into the same studio (although not from memory!). It's A shame they'ved ditched something like that in favour for what is essentially a backdrop.

Yes it's the same studio from when the new news centre was built in 04/05. Same for Kirsty, Natasha, Live From Studio Five and now Matt and OK!TV

What a great bloody set! Especially compared to the current one!

Is it just me or is the current package of titles, music, astons (in particular) and set a major backward step when you look at the clips above?

Not sure if it all is but large segments certainly are.

Haven't been able to watch for over a week, noticed a large 5 piece of set similar to the glass FIVE News and 5 News but on a much larger scale, when the 5pm programme closed today. Doesn't to me give the same effect.
