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.


I think Moneybox uses the same studio in Old BH, as Saturday Live (09:00 to 10:30) the same studio is used during the week for Woman's Hour and Your and Yours ?

On today's first edition of OS, presenter walked to the BBC Weather Centre, it's just second by the touchscreen.

I'm curious as how the TOTH work. Are they played out by the BBC or Red Bee/Ericsson? I assume the purpose is for continuity and that they are partly designed as a break filler/cushion incase a news segment over runs.

I did notice yesterday on WNT that on the ticker they had "Breaking" headline then rest of news. I think it should be used when it's breaking news, and replace stupid RSS feed titles with short description of the stories like on the NC.

If it's BBC world news, it's redbee, BBC News Channel is from a gallery at NBH.

The programme itself is controlled from the gallery C, everything else around the programme, break fillers, countdown etc, is controlled from Red Bee

It seems that from now GMT chair which is used on GMT is replaced by a chair from Impact.

You want the Studio Chair Rota thread for that.

Good grief people here do notice some strange things, it's got too be a new low for TV Forum.

Not really right, I think that cnnfan1230 has made a significant point - chairs are part of the set, set is part of presentation so he has every right to mention it.

It would be noteworthy if Breakfast replaced the sofa with a new one, it would be noteworthy if GMT got a new desk, so why isn't it noteworthy that GMT has replaced an executive chair with a lounge chair?

It maybe a minor detail but it is still noteworthy, if I were to have placed a lounge chair in one of my studio recreations of GMT before today it would have been criticised for being wrong. So if it is noteworthy in a Gallery thread then it is noteworthy in a presentation thread.

Also as for a 'new low' it is far from that - people have discussed mugs vs glasses, earpieces and screen gaps before which are substantially less relevant than one of the major components of a news set.

IMO, everything that's in the studio is up for a discussion.

Unless it's gaffer tape.
