Well I couldn't find it but I've got the next best thing.

The circled shadow of Kate is actually a reflection of the shadow which is actually somewhere were the arrow is pointing, thus the mirror starts where the red virtical line is.

Points west uses mirrors on either side - their studio is tiny!


Err - Yes... This is because they're using the old BBC Three News set - as mentioned a page or two earlier.

This is five plasmas wide with mirrors either side, and light boxes above and below the plasmas. When shot properly it can look pretty huge - though you have to be quite clever about what you put in the plasmas for the mirror images not to look obvious.

Here is another example which was posted by someone on here some time ago and taken on a BBC Tour IIRC.
