Well it's been done before....
On the whole question of the national studio, the set, backdrop and giant screens just seem out of place. I hope someone with some design sense ( even following the recent half hearted alterations ) changes the studio.
Now I'm not sure about this but did the 99 "look" come from the same studio? It always looked so much more, well big. Compared with the current studio which I think appears squashed.
On the issue of the new 2008 newsroom having large windows and the threat of terrorism, I would remind you that the BBC has been the target of terrorists many a time, ala IRA Car Bomb outside TVC a few years ago and I'm sure security considerations would have been taken into account.
Right rant over...

I'm sure if it were possible to have a real newsroom like News 24's in the background of the national set, they would use it instead of the fake one. But the location of the studio where the national comes from obviously does not permit this.
Having said that, if someone put their mind to it they could probably place some cameras somewhere in the newsroom to feed to the projectors, to make it look as if there is a real newsroom in the background. Although I imagine this could be very hard to do in practice.
