Any idea why it's been 'BBC London News' instead of Midlands Today at 630 on the SKY Epg the last couple of nights?

The 1025 is correct, so surely it can't be completely knackered.

Even the rest of the English regions on the SKY Epg are correct too!


Ive seen that happen quite often before on the late bulletin.

Can't say I'm keen on the new set colours. It looks badly done.

I imagine if they changed the yellow to a grey or black and added some yellow hints it would look great.

Even yellow panels on the desk.

It needs work in my opinion. What can they add to it to make it more stylish ?

I felt I was sitting in the cab of a JCB with that colour scheme. Sorry Central I hated the old sofas and am glad to see them go but these new ones are too dark for me.

Surely they are the same sofas but with different covers on them?

they've just changed the fabric. I think that is why I saw them outside Gas Street on Saturday.

You saw the sofas outside ?

Anyway as it's a case of only new covers they could change them again relatively cheaply if they had second thoughts about how they are looking.

Yea, there was 3 of them when they were grey leant against a window under the alcove at gas street.

anyway, perhaps the walls should look like this:

Yuk. Just yuk. Sadly, this is exactly what I was expecting, and it's awful.

Thanks for the screenshot though Michael.
