Im just wondering when Anglia News is going to change the set. This morning there in the newsroom.

Were they still on their old set(s) on the Sunday teatime bulletin?

I take it that Anglia News' weekday breakfast bulletins are pan-regional (like Central and Meridian)? The whole Anglia region appears to be highlighted on that side plasma, rather than the sub-region(s).

Isn't the set change coinciding with a move to a different building? If so, there's no physical reason for de-camping to the newsroom. Presumably they want to save the new sets' on-screen debut for a more signifant bulletin (e.g. mid-morning or lunchtime). Maybe they'll even hold it back until 6pm????

Yuck, who bloody well decorated that newsroom? What the hell is she sitting on? It looks like discarded ends of a crap set of curtains.

My goodness - I've seen some temporary sets in my time, but that really does set some kind of record...

Makes you wonder why they didn't just have her sitting on a stool... or indeed just not bother with the ''wide'' shot.

Anglia are moving from Anglia Square into Anglia House again. I remember reading it was due some time in November, so presumably today is the day. It is a Monday, so it makes sense.

Will be interesting to see what they choose as their backdrop. The view around Anglia House is not erm... stunning. I suppose they might be able to glimpse one of the cathedrals, or the Castle if they're very lucky. Alternatively, there's always the Prince of Wales pub across the road... they'd never need to worrying about providing comprehensive coverage of how 24 hour drinking impacts the East of England again with a shot of that hellhole.

Ive just had this email from ANGLIA , i emailed them about visiting Anglia, as i love Anglia Tonight, west.:

Dear Shaun
Thank you for your email and could I please just apologise for the delay in responding.

I note from your email that you would like to come and visit for the day to see our newsroom in action. I am afraid that at present we are currently in the process of moving our studios from Magdalen Street back into Anglia House. Therefore could I please suggest that you contact us again in the New Year when I hope we can arrange a visit for you.

Kindest Regards.

Last I heard, they were thinking of setting up (or they had set up) a camera to get a view of Norwich from Mousehold, so the view would be something like this...

But I can't be sure. That or a view of the market from the City Hall might be a possibility. I don't think they'll be in the new studio for a few more days yet.
