I could be wrong but the door looks similar to those in the older parts of Broadcasting House. I kind of get the feeling that the set has been based around the art deco feel of some parts of the building in the 30/40s, then added some plants and furniture.


I reckon they’ve taken inspiration from White City House in Television Centre. It looks just like it.

Yes precisely. There’s probably a synopsis of the White City House ‘look’ online somewhere but it’s basically of the era of when TVC opened. I posted this pic of the ‘Play School’ bar on another thread recently

The mosaic columns and wooden furniture elements very much nod to TV Centre reception (aka 'Stage Door' in the final years of BBC ownership)

Yes, The One Show has looked the same for the last thirteen years.

A new logo, titles, remixed theme and set is what is needed.
Maybe they're waiting for Oneness to be disposed of? The ONE in the One Show logo is always the same as the BBC One logo. That's why it changed after the initial pilot run (the circles idents had launched in the meantime) and hasn't changed since.


Yes - The One Show logo is a version of the BBC One logo (the ONE in the title refers to the channel). The One Show also uses BBC One's channel typeface for most of its on-screen graphics.

The studio design changed significantly in 2014 when the studio moved from White City to New Broadcasting House - but the trademark green sofa and skeletal coffee table designs were retained (though physically replaced) The White City studio had a lot of fabric, wood and initially fake breeze-block elements, whereas the move to New Broadcasting House introduced the current light box and sliding perspex panel window treatments.

The current sofa design is a variant of the sofa introduced during the Summer 2008 studio refresh. When the show launched in London, in 2007, it had a very different set of sofas (one green corduroy, one blue velvet ISTR)

Here is the original London studio design

Just caught up with the programme on iPlayer. From the mix of content, it strikes me the BBC has seen ARD's Live nach Neun (live after nine) or ZDF's Volle Kanne, both post-Breakfast magazine programmes, both more likely to appeal to an older demographic and taken aspects of their shows to create Morning Live.


I think it's very unlikely that the team behind the show were watching German TV for inspiration. (Laudable as that would be)


LOL. But EBU members (often led by the BBC) do actively share best practice regarding formats and show off their ideas to other broadcasters, even more so since a certain Tony Hall became President of the EBU.


Yes - it's common for EBU broadcasters to send members of their teams to visit the BBC - NRK, SVT, DR, ETV, YLE and ZDF etc. have all had people visit various bits of BBC NBH over the last few years. These were mainly editorial rather than technical visits.

The BBC has sent staff members to visit other European broadcasters like TV4, DR, TV2 Norway and TV2 Denmark etc. but these were often more technology fact-finding visits, rather than editorial.

Admittedly the interface needs work but 4K YouTube has finally appeared in the last few days. The App container itself hasn't been revised but the content layer within has.


What codec is being played for YouTube 4K - have they implemented software decode of VP9, or is it an h.264/h.265 flavour being hardware decoded?

Double Sponsorship

Eurosport was always one of those channels in the UK that wasn't OFCOM licenced - it had a French licence as I recall - so their rules wouldn't be exactly the same. Not sure if this will still be the case going forward.


Eurosport's main HQ and playout operation is based in Paris - so that makes sense. They have two large new production centres in London and Hilversum, that provide facilities for a lot of Northern Europe (via remote production technology) - but that would explain the French licensing. Eurosport UK often have to opt-in and opt-out of Paris feeds AIUI.

That's not Reith is it? Because it's awful.


No - why would it be Reith? Most BBC shows don't use Reith - it's only really used by News output, and online, as it's a corporate font. Most other shows use fonts that are chosen by their production/design team to match the 'feel' of the show they are making (or in some cases whatever the online editor fancies...).

Not bad - Morning Live got a higher volume and share than any ITV morning show on its first outing, though it's close.

BBC One won every 15 minute slot from 0915 to 1000.

This tweet from Dr Xand shows how tight the space is - particularly with social distancing crew.

First impression is the studio looks like a room set in a furniture shop.

Also, the sun light behind the windows is quite strong so it's appears very washed.

The white balance looks off too - far too warm to my eyes.


Faces look nice - which is the most important thing.

You would think that if they’re going yo mothball Studio B for News that they could turn that into their multi-purpose studio for The One Show and Morning Live and all the others than use the space.


The cost required to either work Studio B into Gallery V, or re-build Studio B and Gallery B to work in a non-News way is pretty major - and News may still require Studio B and Gallery B for ad hoc programmes (elections for example).
