I can't really understand this, they've bought in a massive desk only to hold a glass of water and a few papers. Not only that, but they've bought in a new colour that can't be seen anywhere else on the set.
They may as well have a dancing leprechaun in the background, it would look as out of place as this table... unless they're planning some sort of change. Or, as someone else said, they could be planning to fry a large egg on it, but I thought the national news got rid of the fried egg when they bought in the new titles!
