I'm not sick of the set, it's probably the best set out of all news channels, at least to me.
Can't wait to see World in 16:9. Very Happy


I agree totally with you. Long live the set!

One thing I dont like is the side shots of the desk and the 'newswall', you can always see the mess behind / below the desk, mugs etc.

A few weeks ago they were using a shot that had a view of those plasmas at the very back of the newsroom, the area with alot of white. It looked quite brilliant, but they had to go back to the shot of the dark gallery behind the "sail".

Yes, that has to be the worst shot of all... must hurt the presenters neck in the process.

I agree about that shot, seeing their legs under the desk is a bit strange.

I quite like it, in fact the presenters should stand up at the start on every bulletin!

They also need a permanent opening shot.

I think it has got to do with the positioning of the desk / 'newswall', they are almost parallel [if you get what I mean when you picture it from the top] to each other resulting in such awkward angles.

You seem to be so anti BBC News, yet you like the worst thing about it?!

Because, as I have said before, you are constantly moaning about the BBC, I hear one good thing about them for every thousand bad things.
