O dear c@t, looks like I'm not the only one annoyed by your behaviour. Ooo look, post 555 c@t, and what well reasoned and intelligent ones you give.

Yes, but whereas my posts are actually remotely linked to the topic, yours are exclusively linked to me.

I wonder if it possible for Asa to implement a virtual restraining order. I get the impression I am being followed wherever I post.

High on life.

Love is my only drug.

I doubt very much that I would be on TV Forum if I were high on something.

I suppose this is the right place to put it, Peter Sissons on the Ten tonight (Yay!), and for the first time in an age the opening shot of the studio had the logo plastered on the right screen and not a picture of the top news story... opinions, anybody? A picture or a red blob logo...

The red panels aren't actually red. They are cleverly illuminated red, but when the studio is not in use, the red backlights are switched off, and the panels appear white.

The backdrop of the fake newsroom becomes just a bunch of black screens.


Is the background image of the newsroom a projection or are those massive plasma screens? They seem a more washed out than the previous projection of the newsroom in the old set.

Its projection onto black rear projection screen. Black helps increase the contrast of the image in the bright ambient light of the studio but still looks somewhat wishy washy. It also suffers from a narrow viewing cone, i.e. if the camera is too many degrees off centre to the projection screen it looks fuzzy and dull. Noticable in the opening and closing angles on both the old and new sets.

To me, the fake newsroom looks redder than it has been before now. Also, was that white balcony just above the newsreaders head there before??

Also, what has happened to those 3 guys that used to linger in the background standing around talking to each other every time the news came on? They actually have people sitting at the computer screens now right in the background!

Anyone got any pictures of this, or of the red panels when they're not red.
