An absolutely wonderful edition of Breakfast today. There's been comedy highlights - referring to the new tsunami aid DVD - with Bill and Sian having a jolly good chat about their favourite comedy moments, hilarious commentary with Tony Hawks over a Carry On film clip, in addition to outrageous hats and dancing at the London Stock Exchange.
Madness.
Madness.

what i would love to see done with breakfast is:
-A Proper Desk for the news to be at
-The 2 Presenters on 2 armchairs with a smaller version of the desk used, with some interesting background, like a backdrop of somewhere real, like overlooking westminster
-The news updates done from a seperate desk, but with Moria doing some brief live reports
-for the last half hour, a magazine style programe
-and the weather bring brought into the studio on a big screen
the way it is now puts me off. i think the background is way too cold and so is the studio!

Looks like they cant decide how in the world to shoot a desk or a coffee table and sofa on Breakfast. The shot is nearly overhead at sometimes on the coffee table, and they can't decide where to shoot from on the floor.
As for the desk, Gillian always seems to be leaning to the left when she does the updates, so you see half her chair when she speaks. Why? This only seems to be since the introduction of the bigger desk for the BB that they decided to make her look like she's looking around a wall to speak.
I like the plasma shot they sometimes do.... as they pan in towards the sofa and guest they put the plasma in on the extreme right or left .... but I feel the plasmas should be used more frequently, e.g. like on the 2002-2003 sofa set, where there were two plasmas behind the sofa. Alternatively. get one big screen in and use that.
Either way Breakfast's angles and so on need a bit of a tweak.

That's exactly what they're doing. Rather than use exactly the same shots all the time, they're adding a bit of variety by adding low and high shots, more creative pans, and different wide views of the studio. If they stuck to the same rigid shots day in, day out, then everyone would be complaining about the lack of variety.
They can't win - there's always someone complaining.

I heard Bill mention that, but I was busy buttering my toast at the time and so wasn't looking at the screen. What was it?
A strange woman (a crew member) popped up on the weather map for a few seconds before dissappearing again...
Just when you thought they just got the weather maps off a computer for the Breakfast forecasts - evidently not!

How Bizarre. Maybe she was hoping she'd get a fee from Outtake TV.

The graphics are generated in the usual weather studio, with a producer in the studio pressing the 'clicker'. Breakfast should show a feed of the graphics computer, but it sounds like they went to the output of the weather studio instead.
