Thanks for all your suggestions. Out of interest, I've just seen on the National News thread that Newsnight is getting a 'refresh' on Monday with a new open and close and a new sofa. Could there be something similar in the offing for Breakfast?
But newsnight's current set, titles, graphics and music have stayed the same since the
N6 & TC7 studio relaunches of May (?) 2006, while Breakfast only 'relaunched' its graphics and studio last year, so I can't imagine any big changes. Unless they're planning on changing something about TC7 to allow more change between programmes, which I sincerely doubt.
Out of interest, during Working Lunch does the entire desk get taken out, stored in a cupboard and that hideous coins thing go in its space or does it fit over the top? I was just wondering if they take the desk out for WL, and I know they did when Newsround first moved into the new-layout studio, would it really take the crew too long/ too hard work to remove it during Breakfast after Newsnight? Just seems a waste of the studio if it's not being used - you could create a far better set up for the business and sport, for example, in that area. I much preferred Breakfast in N6 when they actually used the studio, rather than just a sofa in front of some BARCO screens.
