Looks a lot like ITV News, but with red instead of blue and obviously Scotland instead of London.
you mean GLASGOW instead of London
Typical Englishman! - can't manage to be more specific than just "Scotland"!
(I'm an Englishmen myself, but I
don't
treat Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland as if they're foreign)

Hmmm, it could be...
...there's certainly a hint of those dark and light "patches" that occur when a carpet's been vacuum-cleaned in different directions. However, a grey/silver carpet seems unlikely to me. It's more likely that whatever smooth-surfaced material the "baking tray" is made from (plastic of some description??) is a bit scuffed etc. Carpet or not? - it'll be the same as whatever the network news has, I'd imagine.

I've often wondered about that possibility too.
There's often at least one story during "the Six" (typically in the latter half of the programme) that concerns, say, a piece of political legislation that's being proposed for England & Wales .
If something was only applicable to Scotland and/or Northern Ireland, it would only ever be on their respective regional news, right? So, I imagine that Scots and NI viewers must be sick-to-the-back-teeth of the England-biased "national" news giving such prominence to stories that don't apply to all parts of the UK.
Clearly, therefore, there really is a case for a Scotland (also NI?) opt-out. Even if it's only, say, 18:15-18:25 or something. Anything that covers up the irrelevent "England & Wales" kind of stories would surely be a good thing?

Er, because it's also shown in Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, maybe? (and even in Scotland, up until 11pm)

Seeing as Scotland get their own branded Newsnight after 11pm, why isn't the rest of the programme WE get called "Newsnight England" - it seems rather unfair and discriminatory"

Oh get over it!!!
The same way we had to wait for the English football extra time last night before we got the ten o clock news yet last week when the Scottish cup game was played in extra time we had to switch to bbc 2!!!

perhaps it is carpet because they have swivvel chairs with castors that would make a rather annoying noise on a hard floor.

I'm from Ireland so they all are.
Our news has the least boring backdrop around:

At least there can't be any confusion as to what it is
