As James has mentioned, their tree is now up!
Impressive effort this year I must say!

Is that really faked?

Well that's just going to make things look stupid when they bring in the Breakfast tree (which is completely different in colur and probably taller) - if they are going to do that this year.

I think that is perfect for the News Channel. It's a careful balance - you don't want to see a huge sparkling Christmas tree if a major news event occurs at Christmas (which seems to happen a lot these days - tsunami, Benazir Bhutto) so I think the subtle virtual tree is a perfect choice for a rolling news channel.

I think that's fantastic. I'm not wild about that newsroom background, but somehow that Christmas tree helps to give it a certain depth it doesn't normally display. Very well executed.

As well as being virtual, the Channel's tree also seems to be magical - after vanishing for the One it took an hour for it rematerialise.

LOL - it reappeared just after the weather at 2:30.
