When is N6 getting VizRT? It's so out of place having those centre aligned blocky astons on top of the News 24 ticker.

I cant remember where I read it now, but it made me chuckle aswell.
The thing is with the nationals set, I dont think it has any character, the background is boring, and theres just the desk, and theres not much moving around the set anymore. I think a background with more character would suit better. Take for example AJE, they have the Doha skyline on their newswall, which is considrebly larger. If the nationals got a larger, more better background where you could see more of the iconic parts of London, it would look better.

Because it's the BBC News, not London Tonight. London does not equal Britiain.

I hope its soon, I cant stand it. Why couldnt they just have recreated the astons? The blocky version seems to have the light elements from the VizRT graphics, so why couldnt they have just recreated them for the current N6 Aston system, they seem to have tried but its only centre aligned, would have looked better if it stretched the screens width IMO.

Or just introduce VizRT! It's on Wales Today isn't it - why does some minority interest programme take precedence over the main BBC News!?

I don't mind it as a default background, but think they should be far more creative in using story-themed graphics as background like they only sometimes do at the moment.

For the record I live in the North but I think London should have the politics show backdrop as much as it represents London that is where the program is based - unless you want to have landmarks all around the U.K on the backdrop then I think it is pretty good.

On the One this lunchtime Nicholas Witchell was in Baghdad as a 'World Affairs Correspondent', has he left the royal job - where he never looked too comfortable - or is he just over there to cover for the yearly summer staff shortage? sorry if i've missed an earlier post about this!

So that the "minority interest programme" as you put it can find the bugs and issues that need ironing out before it's ready for the main BBC news
