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.


I'm not moaning or asking - just 'dreaming'. Wow, that sounds sad.

OK... calm down, go to the chemists and ask for some throat sweets. Then return and explain your (otherwise perfectly valid) point.

I actually don't like the NWT set



I agree - the previous version was much better. Can't fault the graphics though - possibly the best regional news graphics since they all became generic.

BBC Spotlight, I like it's more sort of regional presentation with the lighthouse montage which goes back to the beginning of the 1990s and still in use.... very nice to have something like that to define an area apart from others.

I think the new look BBC Midlands Today needs a relaunch, it's ok at the moment but is lacking in individuality it's just a tweak of the LDN style . I think a white and red and black look?

I agree - is it now NINE YEARS of the same titles? ( Maybe 8 ). And the " new " set is so uninspired.

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.


I actually think Newcastle's set is the best looking of all the regions. Unlike most others it doesn't look cheap, like some kind of over-sized Blue Peter 'make'. The only improvement I'd make is removing dreary old Carol Malia from it.

I think south todays got quite a nice set also nwt looks really good now different colours but the last look with ldn creditd was good. BBC London looks better since they put in the big plasma and the pictures theme is a lot clearer in the titles but i do agre about look north neding a new presenter bit dreary that one
