Does Bristol have a Studio B of any size?
Studio B is basically a converted office, only really used for breakfast, contingency and recording. The original Studio B was demolished in 1986
This gives you the size of B https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186220-d2734521-Reviews-or20-BBC_Broadcasting_House_Bristol_Tour-Bristol_England.html#photos;aggregationId=&albumid=&filter=3&ff=243181616
South West England & CI Thread
My theory was a swap of desks with Cardiff (Old Broadcasting House), they still use the desk for Politics West. I wonder if they are moving the old Cardiff set into Studio A and Points West is temporarily moving to Studio B for a few weeks. The Desk could be going to B while changing A to new set. from memory B only has a sofa and small table on a green screen.

BBC to move more roles outwith London
I would like to see a four way programme presented from London/Cardiff/Belfast/Glasgow looking whats going on in each nation of the UK a bit like Katty & Christian
JF
Yeah. I was thinking that as well. All of the technology news stories that BBC News have on their website is very much integrated into Click's output. It would appear that, going from this document, the Click team will be moving to Pacific Quay in the not too distant future. Although it would be a little bit confusing now that it's a news programme that's shown on both BBC WN & BBC NC. I wonder how this is going to work with the Click team moving to Scotland. Will the entire Click team be in an unanimous agreement to move up to Glasgow?
The Climate & Science team moving over to Cardiff is an interesting move as well. I would assume that David Shukman's Science Editor role will move over to Central Square along with the rest of that team or would it given that he is an Editor role. There are news programmes associated with Climate like Weather Watch & those other programmes focused specifically on Climate Change. I wonder what's going to happen to them in the future as well.
Wouldn't Climate & Science team be better based in Bristol along with the Natural History Unit, but the Bristol newsroom isn't probably big enough

Did a fire alarm go off midway through WBR this morning? Sounds like it and iPlayer cut after ad break?"Rogue cameras, flashing lights, sirens & morphing into Stephen King. Its been quite a shift." Victoria Fritz

Interesting. Must be her first ‘World only’ shift since, well, ever?!
Not quite! I remember she presented at least once on BBC World in 2001. I've got a clip of it somewhere.
Jane was the original overnight presenter on BBC News 24, BBC One and BBC World presenting from 1am - 5am from November 1997

Jane did the 11am-1pm shift on world news.

Coulthard is the co-founder and co-owner of the production company?
Murray Walker has died.
Well, Mr Walker is now trending on Twitter.
Not entirely sure why Coulthard is responding through C4F1, I know he's president of the BRDC who released the original tweet, thought he'd have had an account of his own?
And for now, BBC Archive and the infamous time Walker tried to pull out all the stops not to stall the car and then went and did it anyway:
