I watched it and felt like something was odd - but I couldn't figure out what. Must have been that!

Nice to hear the special election music for the 12am America Decides hour with Jeremy Thompson although someone forgot to tell Jeremy to stop talking when they played the opening titles sting

Nice to hear the full version as well continuing with the headlines.

I have been following Sky's move to the new studio with much interest. I love how minimalistic and clean it is. I particularly like the screen area.

However, I have noticed during this week that they have been increasing white feature lighting outside the box, and today, there now seems to be blue lighting within the studio, too.

People taking photos in the background during Niall and Gillians shift, constant flashes going, little inappropriate and highly distracting, but another flaw of basing the studio where it is, anyone taking photos anywhere in the building reflects.

Changing the colour of the two lights behind the big screen from white to blue makes such a big difference. Great!

I've not seen the box at all this week until just now but the blue light behind the screen looks rather nice

It actually might be warming on me. Never thought I would say it. But I will have to wait until they move away from the old place for good.

Will they add a Christmas tree in December? Or a big one in the lobby of Sky Central.

It's certainly improving that is for sure, the addition of the blue really helps as well as the additional small white elements. There's also less of a focus on the background it seems, which means less distraction.

It's great that Sky have been clearly taking on board feedback and views I guess in order to improve these things bit by bit and some people there can see the wood from the trees unlike others who thought it was perfect from day 1.
