Yes, it's on show enough, this is getting repetitive now, and as you say its far too long when accompanied with the long wide shot of the studio that follows.
I don't mind the shot, I just consider it part of the titles. I can see how at BOTH it might be a bit much and the weather pan is a bit nasty (since the set it's panning to is a bit nasty).
Sort of related - re: the general moaning about titles/music. I've never been a fan of this look, and the whole 'globe flies here, now it flies there' thing never felt designed so much as just trying to fill the time. It's disappointing to see it live on and I absolutely don't believe the argument that *this* has become a too-recognisable icon for BBC News to ditch. Despite that, I do *love* that little beat while holding on the titles before the newsroom shot. There's still a nice pay-off there which hasn't aged badly after, you know, four days...
Does anybody else see the long gratuitous shots across the newsroom accompanying the opening titles becoming very dull and repetitive very quickly?

Shouldn't be, BBC World News and BBc World Service work around the clock.
There must surely be a plan for a different kind of opener at times like Christmas and maybe even weekends when the newsroom would look a bit empty?

I wish that the cameras on the tracks would stop a bit more gracefully when they crab along the track? It's struck me a few times that they stop a bit suddenly rather than slowing down gradually at the end of the move.

I saw this an hour earlier. It was cringy in my opinion.
Jane Hill joining Louise Lear on the balcony for an interview about the weather - unfortunately didn't work too well as we couldn't hear Louise, but rescued well by some joking between Jane and Matthew and a nice idea nonetheless.

I'm aware of that, but it's conceivable that the newsroom won't have as many people in on Christmas Day as your average Tuesday!
