or closer, depending on the vanity of the short sighted presenters who wont wear glasses. Debbie Thrower used to have the autocue almost touching the desk, and they had to roll it back when they cut to a '2 shot'.

I always find it quite strange to see how small the studios are! The main BBC N6 (is it N6?) studio for main BBC one bulletins is really tiny. You stand there and you're almost above the set if you're my height - 6ft.

The 'high' camera showing the wide whole studio shot at the start and end is just above and to the left of the camera they talk to at the end of bulletins - it just shows everything in wide format so it looks bigger.

Do you know how small the N24 studio is?

It's not that big a set - the whole area is two sets - the one you see most of the time and then the 'soft' set which is used for business/sport/discussions. Again a wide lens helps give a 'big' impression.

how far back are the red video walls on n24 cause they seem quite a way when people walk past.
