Yeah, they'll probably be like what they did when they showed Neighbours for the first time; "After a crap job on the BBC, Natasha Kaplinsky joins the good channel!"

I think it might be at 5. That's when she starts to present. They'll probably mention some of it on the 12:30 bulletin though.

Interesting interview with Mark Kermode on Digital Spy
Read it in full here: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/a89451/qa-five-news-prepares-for-relaunch.html
Sounds very interesting, I was thinking some tacky material and a bar stool, but this doesn't sound like that at all..

How are things coming along ahead of the change?
"We got the new set in and started playing with it yesterday. This morning we've been testing some shots and things, getting the lighting right. It looks absolutely amazing. Natasha went on there and she was very obviously energised by being on it."
What's the design like?
"You take a huge leap of faith with the set - you just see some cardboard models and do some modelling. But it has come in and it looks incredibly vibrant - it has a huge amount of energy. It has a structure that's beautiful, but it has real architectural merit. We are not being obsessed with big screens. In the design and graphics too, it is pretty classical."
Is the more traditional look what viewers will notice?
"I hope they will notice it for its beauty and architectural structure. But a set that's doing its job properly should not be distracting and shouldn't try to do too much"

A worrying direction where Five are planning the "news", rather than reacting to it. If Natasha wanted a 5pm chat show she should have gone to ITV - they've give one to anyone.

"First and foremost it's a news programme so we're not going to be cluttered with interviews. But in a typical programme we might see one interview - we have got some great names lined up. Natasha is a great and really empathetic interviewer, she's really great with human interest interviews - those are the ideas I'm really excited about."

I'm sure they do, but they have more than one interview. Five News is saying there "might be one interview a day"; since this will be confined to celebs etc then it doesn't seem a very newsworthy use of resouces.
Perhaps this is going to be a chat show with a quick news summary thrown in at the start and finish. We'll see though.

Trouble is though there is a difference between say booking an economic expert on the day of the budget and grabbing an interview with Jordan on the day her latest autobiography is released.
