Dry brush strokes over the top of a base colour. As with anything in telly, the finish can get away with being VERY rough.
If curiosity gets the better of you look at the tech notes on http://www.rosco.com.

So how do you 'add the grain' of the timber? One of those rubber yokes that were so fashionable in the mid-90s for updating kitchen units?

It's exactly the same set that used to be in N6; they spent a couple of days moving it to a different studio in TV Centre.
As for the colour of the paper? Surely it's just what happened to be in the nearest stationery cupboard?

So has this studio being built over the 4 days or being constructed for ages then in the 4 space time they have moved the desk into the studio ??
Edit: They most probably made the papers yellow because if they were white you wouldn't notice there was papers there!

Most broadcasters use yellow paper for scripts in a studio as it does not reflect as much light as white.

Yes - Newsnight and Breakfast use yellow. Oddly the One, Six and Ten do as well now... Wonder why that is?

The left screen is only ever used on the One and Ten for a correspondent big screen - otherwise you don't see it. (It normally has a camera in front of it...)

The colouring/brighness in the red perspects seems a bit odd, there is also a huge dark line down the mirror on the right side of the set, which wasnt so obvious before.
Lighting, um... Im sure they will sort it. The floor has to be painted... its different to the other bits of the set, like has already been pointed out.
The left screen wasnt used at all in the one... so was this because it wasnt ready? It looks ......closer to the desk than it used to be.

He means a concrete floor is painted to look like planks of wood. Not difficult to do, and it will only be as detailed as it need be to show up on camera. I think it is probably vinyl flooring again as it would be faster to do, and probably cheaper than a scenic artist.
Much quicker to paint wood on a floor than lay lino or vinyl - the only reason the latter are used is that they are more durable, and are easier to do in studios without doors to the outside world (ventilation etc.) If you've ever seen scenic artists at work you'll know how quick they are - after all they used to do this routinely when drama and sitcoms were shot in studio. Imagine how many wooden floors were painted for studio sequences on the Onedin Line in the 70s... (These got painted overnight quite often)
Paint is also easier to wash off once you've finished - lino and vinyl would require glueing down for safety - and would be more likely to damage a flat studio floor.
You'd also have problems tracking cameras between wooden and non-wooden areas if you used lino or vinyl, as it is much thicker than a layer of paint. In the studio normally used for the One, Six and Ten the whole studio had lino - though some was painted green for a CSO area.
