What no coffee table ? No news set is complete with desk or coffee table.

And those interlocking sofas are just vile. I preferred the laundrette.

Hmmmmm, not a particularly massive improvement from the ironing board, but at least we've lost the laundry theme.

I thought that at first; but the middle section in front of the plasma is actually a table

As for the sofas, I prefered the individual chairs they had a couple of years ago (more practical because they just had several but only used one or two at a time, depending on the number of presenters); but I still think they are an improvement.

I also think using the image (also used on the Politics Show) is better than the blurry Victoria Centre one they used on the lunchtime/evening programmes before.

Personally I like it =) In Wales the news is copyright to BBC Wales News. Just thought I'd mention that.

Its still not great is it , why do they keep bothering . Now theyre flat against the back wall with the weather on the right side again.

I dont know it's probably feng shui < or even me tea ! > but i felt uncomfortable just watching it today.

How long will this new look last , months probably .

One can only assume it stands for an anagram of 'Carp'.

Not a great "new look" and lets hope it looks a little better with Marie or/and Anne sat next to Dom

Knock off central trains logo perhaps?
I think the carpet logo is a bit outdated - swirls went out of the BBC corporate look a while ago..If they need an emblem on the carpet why not rings llike they actually have in the titles?
