Gotta say I'm getting slightly excited to hear this 90 second countdown before the move at 1pm...

So am I.

Ben Brown underlining how rubbish he is sat behind the newsdesk and how superb he is as a correspondent. Truly wasted.

Absolutely. He's doing a superb job out in Baghdad.

Surely it will be on David Lowe's site shortly as well in the Members Area...

Are countdowns always 90 seconds long or is this a first? Never saw one longer than 60 sec.

Jim Mann goes into a little bit of detail about how the Barco Backgrounds came about for the 2008 relaunch on his blog site.

You'll be able to answer the question of, "What does The Lord of the Rings" got to do with the BBC News studio background

The original is 90secs long, and there have been 90 sec and 60 sec versions made for each revision AFAIK
