BBC World News from New Broadcasting House

They need to do the same thing as they do in studio e if they are going to use the catwalk.

It looks like Daylight Saving Time has started again in the UK isn't it? Newsday starts and finishes an hour earlier now and Rico will have to start broadcasting at 6am Singapore time as opposed to 7am.

Yes, it started at 01:00 on 30 March.

Impact and Global also move an hour forward UK time.

Though in the UK it's described as "British Summer Time" rather than Daylight Saving Time (which is a pretty US English phrase)

And "British Summer Time" is essentially European Summer Time, since the clocks change at the same time throughout the EU, regardless of the time zone.

Yes, my wrist watch that receives its time data from the German DCF77 transmitter, wound itself forward an hour at 01:00hrs GMT (02:00hrs CET 'Winter'). I was very impressed, never witnessed it doing a time change before, I was snoozing off, but the sound of the hands rattling round woke me !

Babita trying to complement Rico's slight change of opening sentence on Newsday today. Found it a little funny.
Rico: It's Wednesday and it's 7am here in Singapore.
Babita: It's Wednesday too here in London and it's just gone midnight.

Newsday needs to be something different than a normal WN bulletin that has a presenter in Singapore and its own titles. If that means having quirky opening lines, then it is a start.

Ignoring the inaccurate observations of what Newsday is like as a programme, and the fact the quote above isn't that different to usual, how would such a small, insignificant change be any improvement, never mind "a start"? Surely the content should be a big differentiating factor.

An interesting look at Rico's Broom Cupboard in Singapore:

The skyscraper just outside the window is one of a pair which will eventually completely block the 'studio' skyline view.

That's a lot smaller than i expected, and i knew it was on the small side! looks like the width of our box room .
Just shows, sets don't need to be large. Although, i wasn't aware the windows were real either.
