Does Newsnight have a new desk? There seems to be a different main desk on Newsnight that I've not seen before.

This COULD have gone in the long Newsnight thread which is already in good existence, Worzel my good man...

And no, I don't think that's a new desk that's making it's first appearance tonight, however its newish, it's been there for a couple of months now, I believe (look towards the bottom of this page for when it was being discussed)..

If I am not mistaken, I think Jeremy Paxman was wearing a new tie seven weeks ago as well. Should I post it in this thread, create a new thread, or post it in the original Newsnight thread? Please help. And, can someone also explain to me: what does the word "inane" mean?

Perhaps it could go in the thread detailing Jon Snow's sock rota?

Inane simply means: devoid of good sense or judgement

It already did, which is why Worzel didn't know about it. Generic threads are the bane of TV Forum.

Generic threads are good for the inane details like "so-and-so is wearing red socks today", or "the camera panned from right-to-left instead of left-to-right".

But I agree, things like set changes should be in their own thread.
