BBC News Channel: Presentation

Er, overkill much?

Much nicer than them all crowding round that desk though - do they still do that?

They do. I presume it was in TC7 merely because it was recorded. N9 has also been used in the past

Looks like a Doctor Who Christmas special. Attack of the killer Christmas trees! Turn around and they stop moving.

was this recorded right after one of the musical performances on Breakfast then?

One advantage of N6 is it's quite flexible with it's Barco screens - but they don't get used very well! This shot shows that N6 can look nice when used right:

you are worzel and I claim my £5

I was waiting for that

I'm not Worzel, the difference is I don't obsess or literally get upset over the fact that the News Channel doesn't use more side angles etc. - I just thought that shot looked nicer than the usual fare. In fact, now I look at it I sound exactly like Worzel...oops.

That just looks strange and disorientating.

Can we assume the 'New Year' programme listed on the EPG for 1135pm is the same one that will be simulcast on BBC ONE from 1150pm?

Well it has been for the last few years.
