are they not meant to make you sit up properly rather than slouch under the camera angle?

Bilky, you can just see the edge of the new globe logo at the top of the wall on the far left hand side. However, it wasn't visible on the opening shot of EMT tonight. There also doesn't seem to be any visible changes to the Spotlight set in Plymouth either:

Agree, that EMT sofa looks most uncomfortable. Apparently they're changing it to a nice red one.


OK. I thought the bit on the bit of wall next to the mirrors was a bit clearer.

Well there is such a thing as comfort and posture. Although posture has nothing to do with "sitting up properly". They could have at least rotated the seats so there wasn't just one or two with filling the width of a hair.

This looks better:

It's modular as well

I thik that's a part of it yes. I thinkn those ones in the EMT studio are commercially available, seating that's made specifically for TV is usually uncomfortable because it's been made on the cheap!

I've just been having a nosey on David Lowe's site and found these pictures - a couple we've not seen yet. Most interesting are the countdown pics - looks like it isn't changing much!

I'm going to be rude and say that I hope those shots of the countdown are an elaborate hoax. I can't find any of those images on David Lowe's site. And he would not post images with no music - thats the whole reason he has a website in the first place. I think you've just created those shots of the countdown yourself!

He's right, they are on their, e.g. under http://www.davidlowemusic.com/cgi-bin/adminfiles.cgi?fa=play&fileid=481&gname=productfiles

where changing the 481 upwards will reveal more images, my guess is Mr. Lowe has pre-uploaded them for Monday, all I can say is that I appreciate the rule of waiting to see the finished product, but there would certainly be no excuse if the effed up by not aligning the countdown on the right with the box on the left.

Ah that would explain it. Apologies Embarassed. I desperately hoped they would change the countdown visuals but alas we'll have to wait another few months!
