When I was at MT, the idea was (and still is) to take the whole current set down to the Mailbox, rather than buy a completely new set.


I find that hard to believe. The sofa and desk maybe, but the "ivory" walls are now so 2000!

Surely they'll want something to be different, so as to highlight the change of building - even if it's only a different view in the "window". But I expect a bigger change than that.

Maybe a real window, overlooking the actual newsroom? Certainly no more "ivory" bits of wall, surely? Even if they just replace the few "ivory" bits with more red.

From the floor plan of the studio that I've seen, there is a glass wall overlooking the newsroom.

You can see that the single line wall on the left of the image indicates a window.

Ah yes, you're right. Whilst we're on the subject of windows, if you look closely in the windows of the consevatory from where MT is currently being broadcast, you can see some of the crew's reflections. One cameraman was picking his nose a minute ago. (Joke)
