I think the new look is abysmal - those clouds are atrocious and the blocky looking joined up together set looks like it has been built out of Lego bricks with the joints showing. Very poor.

My views are similar for the other buletins. Disgraceful! Rolling Eyes

My bugbears about the set (apart from the audio sounding like they're in a warehouse) ...

1) Even-ness of the display - a technical limitation perhaps?

2) This bright narrow strip which appears directly behind the desk looks bad in the tight shot

3) Poor positioning of the graphics - careful alignment could have had the colour change on the split between the panels - a very basic mistake from an aesthetic point of view


Yes - you're spot on with your points! Altogether an embarrasing look for BBC news - they should be ashamed of themselves!

I really love the new look, music is fab. If only they used the sunrise background. Crying or Very sad


I admit I was drifting in and out of sleep this morning, but I thought they did - didn't it start off with a sunrise, and change gradually into blue sky and clouds as the sun rose?

no it was blue from the start

those blocks on the background looked even worse during the weather, they took my eyes off the map

the skyline view for the 1 and 6 news looked better than just the clouds, do they have a night shot for the 10 oclock

all in all the set looks like a botched up blue peter make

actually blue peter makes are more realistic

You reckon?

To keep all the complainers happy, the backdrop of the Ten will merely be a repeated illuminated silhouette of Biddy Baxter, court shoes and all.

How can anyone honestly say that the new look on the News is Blue Peter-esque?? For crying out loud.

I wouldn't have imagined you of all people to get confused like that, James.

The wipe after the numerals appear at the END of the One/Six/Ten titles appears to be Blue Peter-style to some members.

Maybe the clouds are to represent them being in heaven. The God of Television News is now Breakfast, with Dermot and co merely looking down on Sky News.

Hardly. This morning was very sunny in West London this morning so that 'clouds' background was used. It'll change if there's a sunrise/overcast etc.

First thing I thought on looking at the new set was Sky -> Breakfast News.

Not very clever, eh, BBC - a new set which engenders subliminal thoughts of your chief competitors?

The panelling looked cheap and the blue really clashed with Sian's jacket.

It's bad, in my opinion - really, really bad.

This isn't working on my computer. Is there a codec for Quicktime I need to download?

looks like it'll be the xvid codec you need.
