From those clips on the ITV website it all looks very promising. The titles look good (from what we can see, anyway) and the music seems to be a nice mix of old and new. I'm glad to see they're putting so much effort into it this time. In 2001 virtually no effort was put into it at all and it just looked/felt like any other bulletin. This new incarnation is definitely going to be something a bit different.
I love the idea of the glass panels as insets. The studio also looks great in those promotional videos. I can't wait until Monday.
Julie and Trevor talking there at the end of the Evening News about the new look. There was a navy blue transparent strap which was like AJE's in the style that it covered most of the bottom of the screen. The News at Ten logo was in the left hand corner, and the glass wall had the News at Ten logo on it, which was on the right of the studio. A nice drum beat was used for it, which sounded really nice. Studio looks fantastic on TV!
The studio looks fantastic, far better than the normal ITV News studio. The glass panels also are a great touch and it appears that the touch screen will be out of the way and not shoved on the desk in the horrid manner C4 have gone for.
Titles also look fab although I hope the music is tweaked slightly as I could never stand that end sting of the old titles.
Love the little sections of the title sequences that they showed and am looking forward to Monday! Music sounds the same to me, can't realy tell the difference (unless I heard them side by side).
I'm not an ITV News fan, mostly because of content, but I have to say I'm impressed by the titles and the studio. Will be interesting to see how succesful the revival will be.
All looks very very good. The titles look good, the set looks good and best of all the old theme tune is back, virtually unchanged - even the closing bit. Excellent.
Ditch Sir Trevor (who looks like a gooseberry in the publicity shots!), get the content right, and it'll be a great programme.
Hopefully we'll see a return to grown-up news as a result across the channels. No consumer fluff, no celeb news, no prancing around, just intelligent world news.
