The superimposed digital clock disappeared in the very next shot. After the regional news (which of course has its own clock) they said they were sticking with the analogue clock on the sofa because the digital one said it was Monday. At 6:41 they put a clock with a different font (I think, or it might have just been the font size and spacing) on screen. Sian Williams said "That will do", Bill Turnbull said "It looks pretty much like the old one". The odd looking clock disappeared for a few seconds at 06:53 and the normal one came back around 30 seconds later.
In unrelated news, someone (possible weatherman Alex Deakin) walked in front of the camera while they were doing the coming up sequence at 06:41 today.

Personally, it reminds me of Daybreak, only Daybreak will have a better view. Is Media City to have any "proper" television studios, rather than office spaces? I'll try this question in the dedicated thread too...
I hope they don't have a view when they move to Salford. That's an easy option. Maybe redesign the set and have it bigger. Not sure Salford has a nice view either from those studios but we shall see.
I think that having studios with views over a backdrop have been done to death and a bit lazy. It reminds me of Pebble Mill At One (as I think has been mentioned on another thread), where they did the programme from the foyer of Pebble Mill and didn't bother to build a set.

Nah, just the Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry. Quite a boring view!

I can't tell how serious you are, but (ignoring the pretty colours in the latter picture, not that they'd be visible at 7am anyway) those are two very ugly buildings. Eww.

Do you have eyes? They're amazing. The IWMN is a Daniel Libeskind, Stirling Prize nominated, building.

Random curves on random structures covered in a shiny metal - really brilliant. Though I'd pick Breakfast over Daybreak any day, I'd rather wake up to the South Bank than to that.

2 Reasons for Pebble Mill's background and (lack of) set:
1) Studio A was always booked for dramas and such and Studio B was fitted with a regional news set. No other stuidos existed at the time, so they used they foyer, with a view across the lawn to Pebble Mill Road.
2) The other reason being that Pebble Mill was meant to communicate with the viewer, idea being that you could stand at the road and see television made by the BBC, making the licence fee seem worth it. It wasn't too much laziness but was more limited options for a space no bigger than 20 meters back wall to front wall. This image shows you the space available to Pebble Mill at One:

Not much room to build a set. (Yes, the thing holding hand bags and monitors was the original BBC reception desk).
Carry on.
