Technical problems on Outside Source - it's being presented stood at the small desk, with the spiral staircase in the background. Ros has just explained that the big screen has a fault.

OS touchscreen isn't working again! I think the 2nd edition of the programme should broadcast from Studio C


Let's not over-react.

How many times has that happened since the programme launched last year?

A handful - that's all.

Has anyone noticed how tight the set is in Singapore? You can see more here...

That's what a typical TV Forum'er's bedroom looks like, isn't it ?

I never understood the dislike of the Singapore set on here. It serves primarily a series of single-anchored programs that rarely have in-studio guests and don't require anything ostentatious in terms of presentation. It has a really great, live backdrop with nice depth of field. The desk is old, sure, but you don't see it anyway, and they make the most of what little space they have. What else is really needed?

Asia Business Report has in-studio guests on every edition I've seen until the BBC decided endless repeats of Click and Travel Show should replace ABR in the Americas. They're great shows but Who needs to see the same episodes at the same time every single weeknight of that week?
Edit: and it looks like on the schedule grid they'll show promgramming aired weeks or months ago.

Singapore is so limited on land/real estate so a bedroom-sized rental probably equates the amount of a full suite in other places.

I notice the window view from that studio is different somehow from how I remember it months ago. Maybe it's the construction that has stopped? Or have they shifted the angle?

This mornings contribution from Paul Lewis into BBC Breakfast was from what looked like a radio studio perhaps used for radio news bulletins. Presumably because the newsroom down the line is out of action whilst the earlier mentioned work takes place.

Wrong thread I think, but he does a Radio 4 programme so likely to be the studio for that.

Yes and it looks a lot better for someone who's essentially plugging his radio show to do it from a radio studio.

Got an image?

Maybe he was getting ready to do his radio show or maybe he was prepping/recording an interview? In the US there are stations which have been known to "go to" one of their radio personalities in the booth for a quick comment or segment.

Paul Lewis replied on Twitter and said it was a radio workshop. The studio used for Moneybox us in use at that time apparently. I wasn't able to take a picture.
