Just wondering if any other BBC Regions are due to get relaunches, and to gauge what you lot think - does your region require the services of Changing Rooms and Red Bee? Laughing

Yea I think Look North Leeds definitely needs a new look now I hate that set of titles I think the orginal set was better. And the studio needs a new makeover and stuff.

I actually don't like the NWT set - but I'd like a new one for South Today. Then, next priority, new titles.

Look North (NE&C) really needs a new look I think, they only launched their new titles (old London style) and set in Feburary. However it really looks boring already, the set is quite big, but to be quite honest the designers didnt change the actual shape of the set, they just repainted it and added new screens, complete with the wire, News 24 style.
They didnt get a new desk, we have the old wooden one from around 1999, the glass was removed for frosted glass, doesn't look nice.

When they do relaunch, I hope we get the titles like NWT. But the set needs working on the most. I think they need to use lighter colours, removed the laminated floor (please!) and remove the circular theme and build a more square theme, if all sets were based on Scotland/NWT set, everything could work out nice. I wouldn't want every single region having the same set, ala ITV.

South Today really needs a new set - but not based around the NWT set. It needs to be a less formal, more 'homey' set. They also need to scrap Tell Tom and replace the titles.

I do however think you'd all be complaining if the current BBC London look was rolled out though - be thankful you don't have to suffer that!

I do quite like the set for London - and before you've say it gets old quickly - I've seen LDN many, many times.

Look North Leeds is my top candidate for change - the sofa look devalues the programme.

Oh, and Christa needs to tone down or drop the tan.

The set I agree is a massive improvement, the desk and chair arrangement, titles and graphics are awful and they need to make better use of the plasma Wink

they are trying to save money. Stop asking for irrelevant re-vamps if you are then going to moan about cost-cutting in other areas. Get your priorities right.
