New look Lookaround

I think they mean uPod, not iPod!

Well I thought I'd have a look at what Border was up to -- my dirty secret is out.

I've never understood the Scotland/England split mind you, it never seems to follow the same pattern at all.

And which of the two is the recorded one? Hmmm.

And wow loved the piece on the Workington christmas lights.

I do like the new look, very nice. Not sure about the blue tint on the backdrop. I think they have taken video from CCTV, and added the blue to cover it up!?

Not sure about the 'News' and 'Sport' graphic, but apart from that, looks good.

The Scotland opt is the recorded one, but it only lasts five minutes.

Who are the two waxwork dummys either side of the plasma here ?

It looks a bit tight for space in there

Ryan Dollard with the sport on the left, and Adam Powell with the news on the right.

Have to say the Border execution of the generic regional news set is wonderful, really makes the programme look fresh and up-to-date.

any animating astons?

No. The graphics haven't really changed. Just noticed, is Lookaround the only region that hasn't got its name projected onto the floor? Don't think there would be room anyway, the studio is quite small.

North East Tonight hasn't got the studio name lit on the floor, just an ITV Tyne Tees logo on both versions.

Anything's better than the old wicker chairs and faux green marble

Looks OK, I guess, well it looks the same dosen't it, generic.
