I think it was late 2006/ early 2007.
I remember they were in a CSO studio for the weekend. I don't think this set is actually that good if I'm honest. They kept the exact same layout, but just replaced it with chrome and red walls. The worst thing is, they kept the old desk, which has been used since 1999, or the early 2000's.
I'd like to see a lot of tweaks for NE&C, but I doubt it will happen.

Personally I would prefer a complete refurbish, but realistically tweaks are as good as we're going to get...
and what are the chances of that?

I agree - the fact that the desk is old isn't that big a deal - I think I'm right in thinking that the main programme uses the sofa area and the large screen for the majority of the programme.
I think the whole studio still looks really good.

I actually think it's one of the best regional sets and looks a lot more professional than so many others. The size of it is fantastic as well, and certainly puts N6 to shame!
Just because it's been around for a while doesn't make it bad.

Well Newcastle have benefited from a BBC quirk of the 1980s. When Newcastle relocated they were given a much larger studio than other BBC regions, as there was a hope that BBC kids shows would be made there - so a studio large enough for general production was built. However they forgot lots of other bits that were needed for studio production - and it was never really feasible. This left the local news operation in Newcastle with a studio far larger than most other regions - and network...

Interesting - i've actually been inside the Newcastle studio, and it is quite big. They certainly used to have two sets on either side of the studio for different programmes.
Noggin - when you say bigger than network, do you mean bigger than N6, or N2/N1?
