OK, My last post before going to Spain. (I'll be still online though)

On BBC Breakfast, they were in the comfy area, and there was what seemed to be a shadow of a blind on the wall. I've never seen it before, and it looked awful.
Is this suppossed to be there, as it was on both sides. It was going into the yellow bit, which looked horrible!!!!!!!

Anyway,
byeeeeeee.

I think it's always been there. I haven't watched Breakfast for ages, but I'm pretty sure it was there the last time I did!

All BBC Newsrooms look rather warm and comfy to sit in.

How deceptive looks can be!! But, I bet they're quite warm due to the lights...

The blind is created by using a 'gobo' in a studio lantern.  Its a circle of metal and looks something like this:

I like how it gives that 'morning sun streaming through the windows' look to the show.  Nice touch, and it breaks up that solid colour they use throughout BBC News.

And you can buy the book of '101 quality mdta anecdotes' in all good bookshops now, priced £11.99 Wink

Note to sensitive mods:  this is a joke rather than an insult.
