So as you may have noticed it wasn't a perfect start to our Twitter live experiement 😅. Don't worry you can watch again at 10.45pm after the @itvnews. We go again next week! #Peston
So it's basically just been Peston on Sunday.... but on a Wednesday.
The tunes there, screeny's there, 'wotcha's there... it's just the set has changed to deep dark blues and purples and even on screen it seems very reminiscent of Channel 5/5 News.
Allegra's not there which is a shame. Anushka seems a bit awkward to me.
Very surprised that the show got an entirely new set, the old set with a night-time backdrop would have been just as effective. The lineup for yesterday’s show was pretty good, I’m guessing there are far better guests available at 8pm on Wednesday.

Surely the old set was designed for a daytime morning show, whereas the show is now a late night show? You probably want a different feel for the show as a result? The old set was very 'daytime'.
There may also have been reasons to get a new set linked to the move of the show from TLS to BBC Studioworks ? (Did the old Peston set share any set infrastructure with TLS ITV Daytime sets?)
