BBC North West Tonight

The girls in town was Liverpool I believe (you can see the Liver building in the background). And the bridge is at Salford Quays outside the Lowry centre. Not sure about the others.

Some useful links from the NWT website which should explain things:

The feature page with links to the various sections dealing with the relaunch:

I think all regions should incorporate this style of opening titles. Not only do they incorporate the local place names of the 1999 relaunch, but also the pictures of local places from the 2002/03 relaunches and a hint of the nationals with the strong reds.

BBC London is the one region I think would benefit most.

That wide shot at the start of the lunchtime bulletin is very odd, why bother building a flashy new set if you're going to show an ugly studio wall.

Its a nice relaunch with instant wow factor but will probably age quickly with that horrible floor and the lack of studio furniture, the four shot at the end of the evening bulletin was so empty. The sport's presenter accidentally hit the nail on the head with his joke about not being stuck behind a plant, they need things like that in the sofa area to warm it up a bit.

One would hope they decamp back to the newsroom to repaint the floor over the weekend.

That light object high above the presenter that looks like a space ship is weird, I'd be scared of it falling on top of me

I think even the addition of "teatrays" like the National News would add to the furniture as it is a bit empty.

Incidently, those who mentioned that they miss Oxford Road, when watching the quickened video of the revamp in the making slowly I'm sure I spotted the below cap which has Oxford Road on the projector behind the presenters.

Granted it's not clear, but when looking on my TV I'm sure it was. Either this was just to check the projector was working (but I doubt that as they use the test card) or they tried it out and didn't like it...

The man walking the dogs was in Runcorn, just under the bridge.

The floor almost makes the whole thing a waste of time. Terrible.

An update on the correct presenter schedule.

Breakfast - Naomi Cornwell,/Carole Lowe Cover- Kate Simms

Lunchtime - Gordon Burns

Evening - Gordon Burns and Ranvir Singh Cover - Mark Edwardson and Annabel Tiffin

Late - Annabel Tiffin/Ranvir Singh Cover - Mark Edwarson/Kate Simms

Weekends - Mark Edwardson/Kate Simms

Who would cover for Gordon Burns on the Lunchtime Edition? I am surprised that Ranvir is not utilised more either at lunchtime or late evening. NWT must have a wealth of talent compared to BBC Scotland.

I doubt they will but they should.

The BBC London titles are still awful even a couple of years on. Not that they are being used to their full potential.

The new NWT ones are great (excpet perhaps the 'live news, local news your news' bit which is very cringy
