They have new desks since adopting the LN branding. Here's their main one:

And they have another for summaries.

Sad So dull. Everything about the original internally-designed BBC Arabic branding was so much better, including the razor sharp looking desk with big feck-off BBC logo and classy glass graphics.

For Dateline London, will they still have to pull in more chairs or is a studio designed to take that many?

Well you've seen as much as we all have - why don't you tell us?

One studio might have two anchor seats then a guest seat beside each, but more chairs can fit around the desk properly, rather than being on show and looking rather messy

Or they could go in Studio A, or Studio B, or do it from the newsroom, or several other options. Or the programme could be scrapped as part of the move? Or it could be produced like the World Have Your Say programme and rely on split screens. There are so many options, only those in the actual know will have any idea of the answer, and it sounds like they're not supposed to say anything. Yet.

So, by time everything is settled in BH/NBH with The One Show moved in, BBC London in their new studio, etc... are we looking at about 13 TV studios in the whole complex? (including Weather and clip studios, etc)

It's almost like a sort Centre for Television isn't it. Such a radical idea...

So I take it The One Show is definitely confirmed for the move?

This may be a silly question, but wouldn't it make more sense for BBC London to have the studio with the window backdrop of London rather than BBC Persian?
