One final video that I've found is this. Skip along to a minute in, and you get a tour of all the old News studios including N1, which is now just a store cupboard. Really interesting.

Not quite - N1 is the rather spartan studio you see with the black and white floor and used to be BBC World's studio. N2 is the one with all the crap in it and that was BBC News before 1998.

...the black and white floor being from Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, thus placing the video as quite recent. I think the cherrypicker with the light in the donut would have been for the recent Doctor Who filming.

I wish the overnights or early morning shift on World would come from E but it seems this is not in their plans. Very disappointing that studio E is kept hidden from international viewers.

N2 with that low-ceilinged extension quite recognisable from the years when it was in use quite heavily for BBC3 programmes, all sorts came out of there, so sad to see it full of junk.

Did I read somewhere that the bit at the end allowed them to get nice wideshots at the start of certain news programmes? Seems amazing that the blue-glass era BBC News came from in there, given how big that looked on screen thanks to the computer trickery!

Interesting picture of TC7 posted by Pallab Ghosh. Of course, he's wrong about the Ten bit though.

A vine video.

Would it be unreasonable to ask for a greater quantity of words which convey the meaning more clearly?

Or are you all paying by the character now?

Jon Sopel running separate live coverage from The Vatican rather than the Six for NC.

NC split away from BBC ONE ... Sopel in Rome.

The news of a new Pope elected broke very fast on BBC News at Six on One as well. Just a couple of minutes after the NC due to the Six showing a report.

Obviously the NC had a mole in the Conclave. Wink
