It's OK! But basically what they had before. It's good that they are trying something new though.

BTW: Where did you get the globe image from?

And EastEnders so what gets me is that when he's recording the Easties spoofs, why doesn't he just use the EastEnders set? Or are they recording there all the time?

Anyway, this is off topic so I'll stop here. Lol!

On Topic: What do people mean when they say 'Flags era' about the new set? Sorry if its been said before.

Flags Era is before BBC News 24 went china red and cream.

Alistar does do his eastenders spoofs on the Elstree Set.

The globe image is from the break ident from BBC World News

Yes, thanks for that but when I said Flags Era - I meant what did people mean when they said that referring to the new set.

And it can't be the EastEnders set. If you look carefully, it doesn't have all the right walls used and, if I remember correctly, the wallpaper is different.

It is the eastenders set, as almost all of Alistair's spoofs are from elstree.

Parkinson
