Well we only have one big flash plasma, it would be good to see one on the other side. But they obviously can't afford it.

News 24's is a heck of a lot bigger than their old Plasmas. The plasmas they had in the "spaceship" era set...

The World Plasma is bigger than the old News24 ones and indeed the old World one

is it? I was under the impression it was 50" like the second set of N24 ones. The old world one was 32 the same as the orignal N24 one (the low hanging fruit set)

I like the current national news desk, and north west tonight's current one too!

agreed on your second point, but the current nationals desk is way too small for 2 people. the whole set at the moment just seems way too claustrophobic and compacted. they aren't making good enough use of the space that they do have, and the fake newsroom background still doesn't help.
