BBC World

Well the new World set is in.
I think it makes the newsroom look a lot bigger than it is.
And I like all the new monitors on the walls.

The News set looks like an axe-wielding TD has been let loose & taken a huge wedge out of it for no reason.

I think it's horrible.
And for Gods sakes guys, have you never heard of a waveform monitor & black level??!!

Pictures look slightly crushed, or maybe the lighting's been turned down a bit. Or perhaps the camera's HAVE been lined up and it just looks 'different' - lol. Personally I prefer slightly more contrasty shots rather than being too sat-up.

The new 'Business' area looks out of place with the new plasma just floating in space. That little bit of newsroom behind the 'camera 4' shot with the plasma is strange and the 'camera 2' main presenter shot now looks far to busy and distracting.

Thumbs down from me, but I guess we'll get used to it in time.

I agree about the plasma being too high up on the biz/sport pres seat.
I still think the whole newsroom looks brighter than it was.

You are right about the newsroom looking brighter, I think it's because the news set is darker.

Can any of you take some photos so we can see, as you dont get to see much on BBC World News

It's starting to grow on me already - some of the shots are strange, and begs the question - how do the do that? I'll pop along later and have a look.

Very sneaky - just worked out how it's done - clever, sneaky but asking for trouble!

Well I've just seen the 1300 start of the 1300 bulletin, and I must say that I like they way you can see the desk infront of Nik Gowing now when he's reading the news. They should do this on News 24. The newsroom is definately brighter, and the studio is darker. Although I think it looks great. I'll have a look properly tomorrow at 9.30 on News 24! I may get some screengrabs if I can.

PLEASE BBC WORKS SOME PICTURES PLEASE...

also the curved beige shape thingy is gone from behind the railing things.

Yeah, the main presenter shot is a lot wider so the desk can also be seen. I thought it looked strange at first and when I seen WBR at 1415 I wondered what was going on. Then I realised that they've modified the set. Its a lot more open that in was before.

wow! does anyone have pictures? I don't know, i go away for a couple of weeks - and it's all change!
