Simmonds is a good political correspondent. Not suited to studio... they should have drafted in The Dobbster (Peter Dobbie) tonight.

It is actually slightly different - the screens seem to have been shot from a somewhat jauntier angle. Not seen a wide shot yet, but again, it seems nicer than usual.
It's a bit of a shame that the various parts of BBC News look their best under unusual circumstances..

I'll explain - it's a rather simple concept - you send a plain black field to the video input of the projector. Thus, projecting black.
Which, as you say is 'no light'. How do you describe projecting an image though? Should he have said, "project no light instead of projecting a varied mixture of primary colours that happen to construct an image?"
The pedants on this forum really do hack me off sometimes. Do they think it makes them look clever?
Well I'm ever so sorry for not knowing exactly every little detail about how projectors work, which was why I asked.

Someone is going to have to explain this to me... how could you "project" black? Surely black is the lack of light, so where there's black, nothing would be projected. That would explain why those parts would be transparent - because there's no light hitting the screen.

I think he's fine in the studio. He was doing things slighlty different, like holding his script in his hands for a while instead of having it flat on the desk out of shot.
I think they're experiementing with camera angles too. I've just seen Joanna sat over to the left of the shot showing a lot of newsroom over her shoulder and it looked good.

Here are shots from tonight. It isn't that the image has been shot slightly differently, it's because the presenter is sitting in the other chair than 8 weeks ago - they seem to want it as close to their usual set up as possible - hence the last picture below:

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but this morning shortly after Bill and Sian had handed over to the sports desk, you could hear Bill speaking over the sports presenter, saying something along the lines of;
"just a tidge - it's not a tad, but a mixture of a tad and a smidge."
It made me laugh!

Bit off-topic, but it's worth noting that at this particular moment, for the first (and probably last) time in history there are no DOGs on BBC1, 2, 3, 4 and News 24!

Have you got any video caps of this, Rob?

I would love to see this on television - it would be particularly impressive. But alas, there is no way for me to see BBC World, not even on the internet!

I heard that too!
I noticed that at 8am they said "This is Weekend 24 coming from the studios of News 24". Nice bit of inaccuracy considering it was coming from the BBC World studios.
