BBC World is too black.

I watched on Tuesday, noticed there was a huge light blocking the aerial shot very weird, it just makes BBC World look so cheap, with News 24 you get a moving aerial shot!

Most likely due the changes ahead.

I hope it's quick, the aerial shot looks weird, although not as weird whilst they were building the BBC Four set, then they had the camera really far away!

I have the feeling this topic is like a dejavu, going around the same issues over and over again; yes, the studio looks dark,needs improvement, etc. We all know that ;in addition, we now know that the newsroom will have some cosmetic changes in the following weeks perhaps?, so I will suggest you all (specially Mr.Harsy) to wait and see what will happen with the studio.

Oooooooooh so we've heard it from Nicky, there are imminent changes ahead for World. About time.

So, what can expect? A new desk to bring it in line with N24 and NAT, and of course Washington.

and errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?????

Indeed I suggest you have a of bit of patience. World will be looking a bit different over the next few weeks. And you won't have to suffer that opening shot for much longer. Smile

Interesting as always Marcus - thank you.

For the first time ever, I (dimwit) have just realised that the theme music on TWT is different from the other BBC World bulletins.

I heard it in particular this morning when David Jessel (the 3rd anchor to appear in so many days) was recapping the Yasser Arafat situation.

It's quite a good theme with lots of drums in the background, also played when the headlines are being read out.

Wish the other mainline BBCW bulletins will adopt this format.


Also, I hear whispers of a certain Mr. Witchell shortly getting behind the BBC World news desk as an anchor on TWT when it is re-launched later, with Nisha Pillai going to the The World and Kirsty Lang coming into BBC World News. Is anyone able to verify this?

Also, whispers that Geet Guru-Murthy and Zeinab Badawi will have more prominent roles on BBC World broadcasting.

Someone please comment.

Excellent news - if it is true. But what will happen to David Eades?
