Seems a lot sharper and now has a big round red desk. Not sure if this has been discussed.

I think it's a temporary set up for The Budget coverage on Wednesday. I personally prefer the more warm and informal set up, suits the programme better. The studio just looks stupid with a huge desk.

I agree, it always seems so big when they bring that desk in! Always thought the programme would suit a Sky News Sunrise set-up, with a desk, and sofa combo...the current set looks tired IMO...bring back the green sofa eh? Shocked

The current set is certianly tired. Must say it looks better lit purple as seen in this clip:

Why is the picture quality from that studio always so awful? I've not seen it since the refresh but is it still the same?

There has been no refresh. It's always dressed slightly differently for the week of the Budget (and the PBR). It will be back to normal by next Monday.

As for your other point: yes, the picture quality from Millbank is still as bad as its always been.

Yes it's the same set, however it is lit differently near the end of the clip, where the white lights are changed to purple.

That looks like This Week.

Isn't that because of the Analogue technology still in use there - the distant/wide shots look terribly ghosty...

Haha, that is becoming quite a regular occurrence these days. Also, re-lit desk base today, or is it my eyes?!
