I quite like the BBC Russian version of the news titles, with the blue added to the red and the 'ball' effect, rather than relying too heavily on rings.

It is surprising how much difference the movement of the very small office space behind that Russian set makes it appear superior to the barco newsroom walls.

I think this is the issue with it. If it's just a background - as the skyline was - it doesn't matter if it doesn't move. However when it is pretending to be a real space it just looks poor.

ITV News's previous look with the ITN atrium that moved with the camera was particularly nice in this regard.

Love that set, wish it would be used for some BBC World bulletins. Also nice mini tour of the building, it looks lovely.


You have seen the proposed set design for BBC World News, haven't you?


Yes I have but I prefer sets with newsroom in the background.

Oh dear, it looks as though they've found a new home for one of those washed-out back projection screens from N8. Sad

That image doesn't look washed out to me. Even if it's a blurry image.

For those not knowledgeable in broadcasting technology, could you explain the difference please?

Edit: Also, anyone know what kind of screen that is at the back? The one with the view of London on it. I'm assuming it's a screen, not a lightbox, as that surely wouldn't be practical? But looking at that photo it would be too big to be a plasma, and doesn't appear to be BARCOs?

Smart Glass can be switched from opaque to frosted to provide a surface for projection. When the screen is not required, it can be switched to clear, and therefore become see-through.

Looks quite close to the renders. Looks like the June/July date may be met!
