Is it me but doesn't Natasha really look like Kirsty Young on this picture?

I don't like the sofa, but the rest of the set looks good, very glassy would be appropriate.

I dont know if its my eyes, but she looks very different in that picture, is that airbrushed to hell or surgery, or even old age?

Mini-tour of new studio now online: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1417302255/bclid1394183346/bctid1419758843

I think the set would suit T4 more than a news programme, but as others have said, I will wait until 5pm to see it on-screen.

New titles can be seen here: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1370867998/bclid1394183519/bctid1415631165

It'll be interesting to see how she plans on perching on that desk - but it is VERY VERY nice indeed. The sofa is amazing. They are cetainly going to stick out from the crowd with that studio.

And that glass/perspex logo they've got is very BBC circa 1993 and News at Ten, don't ya think? Well, what goes around comes around.

I was just going to say it reminded me of T4 - the background from the stripes era, the sofa from more recently. It's hardly revolutionary though - quite similar in layout at least to the last couple of sets Five News had during the ITN days.


As for the titles - I'm not sure. On the one hand great they've gone for something different, on the other hand it screams gameshow to me. The music's quite dated actually.

I didn't think the last titles were too bad to be honest - straight to the point. They'll never beat the original ITN music though.

I can't work this out...

where is the actual news? It just seems to me like they've copied the placeholder headlines from OK! Magazine.
