Geeta on 15 minutes early as the Press Briefing appears to be taking place at the earlier time of 11:00am (which BBC1 is also taking).

Is the catwalk more red than normal tonight, or am I seeing things?

I noticed a lot more red in the glass reflection right at the start when Clive began reading the headlines.

Speaking of the studio, as others have said before, it still looks fresh. Altrough, maybe one day they could have one big screen instead of those three separated.

The benefit of having three screens is you can interview 3 different people all at once. And if Newsnight is staying in E, I doubt they're going to change it any time soon.

You can do that with one big screen, too.

Are there screens that could replace the ones on the catwalk though? Perhaps it would have to be a bespoke solution if they were to replace the three screens with just one..

They should have redone the titles last year.

Bold of you to assume that they'll re-do the titles. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the current set were still in use 10 years from now.

If they’re still in use in 2030 that will be 17 years of the same titles (22 if you consider them originating in 2008).

What is the current record for longest news titles without any amendments? Is it the original Six o clock News titles (1984-1993)?

They're not that bad, and the variants for Afternoon Live/Newsroom Live were great and provided a mix. But if they are going to scrap the branding and continue with the current schedule (something I think everyone is unaware of at the moment) then it wouldn't probably be too shabby an idea to have refreshed titles, or dare I suggest, updated music Wink

Other than that, the channel looks very modern and stylish. Reith last year was absolute brilliant, and considering I consume the News Channel most often on the iPlayer app on my iPhone, made reading things a lot easier.
