Hello all. Long time no see.


... out of interest, does anyone remember way back in 2005 the leaked artists' impression of the new Sky News Centre?

Methinks the new desk looks VERY similar to what was designed back then...?

Mdta? Any recollection?!

Yay me!

Well I think it all looks just lovely.

I'm pleased that my memory is also still sharp.

Where was NSW on 15 minutes presented from???

I don't think the desk is made for solo anchoring, it's big enough for 2 anchors to present together. They do that for major breaking news.

So the desk is still rotated to the gallery, it looks like that's the main position they will use from now on.

NSW with Sarah Hughes tonight was presented from the "Island" with the background being the gallery. EDIT: Sorry!! Answered in time I was typing!!!

Agreed - the desk is definitely designed for 2 anchors - it was clear to see at the 10am TOTH with Dermot over to one side you could see they would fit 2 people easily.

The banter is rather amusing too, with Kelvin MacKenzie and Steve Dixon about Steve's 'youthful' looks.

New TOTH - "20 YEARS OF BREAKING NEWS" below the logo, and then it pops up between each headline...
