The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

Look North seems to be in the weather cupboard at lunchtime. Old titles and theme still in use.

Hear the man with all the showbiz contacts @RichardStead take a sneak peek at the BRAND NEW @BBCLookNorth set.

Looks like it's half projection screens and the other half printed/lightboxes then. Surprised they've kept the globe frosting though as most new sets have phased that out.

I listened to the piece on Radio Leeds - it’s six screens all the way round apparently.

A shame they’ve kept the sofa in my eyes as I always prefer a desk but that’s just me. The backdrop also looks outdated to me but I’m sure to the average viewer they won’t give it much notice. Would have been a nice opportunity to refresh it. A vast improvement on the previous, despite my personal preferences.

So that’s technically three different temporary set ups they’ve used during the refurbishment

New music on the headlines.

Edit: Updated titles, with a correct BBC logo.

Is that a unique version of the generic music not used by anyone else?

Is that the exact same sofa?

The new title music has definitely had an airing before so is a nice repurposing rather than a new piece - I seem to remember that all the regions did a special debate programme a year or two ago which had special music, maybe it's from that?

Yes, the new music sounds familiar, although I’m losing track of all the David Lowe variations after nearly 20 years!

The new set works well, and as we’ve seen it’s screens all around - making good use of them in fact.

I think the music is the same as the North West Tonight Mersey Gateway special:

Looks like they've gone for Hull's crap font on the titles.
