I wish they'd present a bit more from there and a bit more outside like by the canal or balcony. Cool


The original view from there used to be quite good. However now they've started construction on the new "Cube" development, it looks a bit shoddy.

The late bulletin with the bar's and restaurant's lights in the background was nice though.

Glad you pointed this out, hopefully there will be a lot more done from outside when The Cube is there and I think it will finish the Mailbox development off nicely. Smile

I see the weather came from the screen in the normal studio this lunchtime. Does this mean it's going to be kept in the new set, or have they shifted it somewhere else?

Jo Malin & Malcolm Boyden in the same panto at Lichfield Garrick Theatre this year.

More in tonight's 'Birmingham/Black Country Mail' & probably online somewhere too!

Anyone spot the supposed UFO over the M6/M54 junction around 5am on Tuesday, as spotted by Mollie's mate Jane France?

Anyone give a ****? Join the club!

Indeed you're correct!
I wonder if it could have been moved like you suggested?
Also I wondered whether or not the afternoon update at 3.20 had been having the signing on? As they put blue screening over the screen and just wondered whether or not they'd still be able to do it? Confused

Does that mean it'll be staying for the new set?

I think it will be staying.I think it will only be a few tweaks made to the set.

I wonder why if only a few tweaks are being made then why have they had to move out of the studio for two weeks? Rolling Eyes
