Johnathan you were quite right and I was wrong.
No problem - it's an interesting topic, and as you originally said, a very clever system!

Yes, sophisticated keying systems like Ultimatte can deal with shades/levels of green, so that the reflection in the desktop doesn't look as solid a key as the wall.
The same system copes with water and smoke, giving levels of key according to the density of the foreground object.

I think its very clever. It relies on the reflection of the green screen, instead of having its own green screen, so it never looks strange.

That would, I presume, explain the extreme cleverness I once witnessed when the ITV NC had (for some reason) some wine glasses in the studio, and the background was visible through the glasses. Looked very realistic, it was all reflected properly.

Geraint Vincent, James Mates or Bill Neely I guess.
Mark Austin wont, and Steve Scott is busy doing /West News Mon-Thurs.

I take it Alistar Stewart will be presenting the Lunchtime News tommorow with Katie Derham, since Nick Owen has left. Who would do cover now for the male presenter.. Gerriant Vincent?

The Ultimate News Quiz
website appears to have been updated in response to the question that I asked three weeks ago. (OK, so the two events may have been coincidental 
).
Congratulations to Katie and Alastair, (and their team's other two members, of course)
No doubt the trophy is serving as an impressive target for scrunched up sheets of paper in the newsroom
).
