I wonder if the odd couple of sitting down opening sequences they've done were tests for a mini-revamp? I know they test things off screen but perhaps they did it once or twice on air to see if any feedback was given from 'us' types?

Interesting about a new look, although I wouldn't hold my breath for it being anything drastic or else we would have heard by now. I'd also make a guess and say it will first appear during the lunchtime bulletin first because technically the morning bulletin is the last bulletin of the day (9.25am-5.59am).


I hope the atrium and blue stays, but the rest of the studio looks different. It should do a Sky and add more grey or white and also jazz it up a bit.

Further evidence of the new look - Steve not crossing to correspondents via the videowall tonight.

Sorry. He just crossed to Harry Smith, via the wall.

I noticed earlier this week that when correspondents are live on location, the presenter doesn't introduce them as they just come straight on screen when their report has played. Similar to News at Ten.

Plus - sometimes they dropp the middle section of the titles (usually played after the first headline).

Steve looked like he was waiting to run out the studio when the credits played just then.

Libby Weiner (former Political Correspondent) has just filed a report from Australia I think - it was their lead story, when they mentioned she was leaving in late 2008 they said she would report occasionally.

She also reported a few weeks back from Australia about the assacination of the British Queen.

Er... attempted assassination of the Queen, surely?

Some (minor) problems with the weekend bulletin; the graphic behind Steve Scott remained the same for a different story before it was changed somewhat abruptly. Also during the headline recap near the end of the programme he read from his papers - presume the autocue failed. Also no credits or ITN endcap during the closing sequence.

I noticed that the Weekend News was a bit dodgy. So could it mean we are expecting some changes tomorrow? Big or small

Plus he asked Harry Smith a question, he had already answered and ended the first live report early.

First ITV Weekend News bulletin I watched for ages, how its changed! Very poor!

Also did you notice that Steve didn't even do a proper link over to Nina Nanaar at the BAFTA's.

Steve looked very unhappy tonight. But then you would when you are retaining a regional job aswell as a national one at weekends, unlike Westcountry's hosts who won't have one job.
