So will they be using the World studio for Susan Osman on a Sunday morning every week? Ots just they did it last Sunday as well! I'm beginning to think its a preference of Susan - she likes the World studio more!! Very Happy

are we still not allowed to call it b a certain one letter one number code

As mentioned so many times here, the BBC and all its staff would prefer it if you didn't refer to studio names.

Whilst the war continues, TV Centre, especially World, are high security risks. We are only doing our jobs & anything to help us go home safely at night to our families is a blessing.

How would you like it if you knew some nutter was wanting to bump you off, and a kind sole provided your address openly on the internet? I don't think you'd like that very much would you? So please respect our safety & security.

That's very comprehensive Techy. Have you thought of applying for a job in Television

Funnily enough Anne (do I know you? Smile), I have thought about it many times!

Which reminds me, I must go & see my boss next week, I've gone and done something naughty again!  Smile (so what's new there then!!)

Sorry to disappoint Bail but I think it's actually Wallpaper you can see there, not a new screensaver. I watched the World News prog on News24 the other day and it was a static image, definitely wallpaper, would still be nice to have it though!


It definitely is a screensaver - I know for a fact

Yes it's definitely a screensaver, I have seen the computers screensaver come on automatically!

It seems to happen every Sunday morning, BBC News 24 going over to BBC World, and the vamp seems to be played out even louder by the World gallery!

It is a screensaver. I was watching N24 when they were doing something to the studio and I could definatly see the Broadcasting Motif moving.

I have re-created this in flash for my site. But could we please get it. And does anyone have the screensaver from the other news rooms????

There's nothing fantastic about the screensavers!

They're only video grabs which have been looped & made into a *.SCR file using this software.

Why doesn't someone on here make their own version & see if it's better than the Beebs internal one? Who knows, if you send it to the right members of the forum, you may one day see it in the newsroom!

Well. Jamez told me that someone at BBC Wales has the BBC 2 Clock I made a while back somewhere in the Beeb.

Rumour has it that DNC2 actually use it live on air for the clock!

Only joking Smile
