It awful quitefrankly. So dark and depressing - i can't imagine anyone wanting to copy recipies coming from this sort of environment. Too cluttered and messy with an awful colour palette. Something drastic needs to happen to make this look better.
The backdrop (news) shouln't be lit with colour, it should just have a white light on it like it was in January 2009. That would hopefully make the kitchen seem lighter! There is potential here but it wouldn't cost them much to build a small moveable kitchen set to put where performances are to make it bigger - at the moment it is tiny and i disagree that is is at all homely. Hopefully it will look better when on TV!! Very Happy

EDIT : Looking at it again, i quite like the drawer fronts!


That set isn't lit for broadcast yet, you tit. It's only just been installed - do you like complaining?

At least you get news coming from a proper-ish newsy set after 8.


YEAH!!! LOL i just realised that when looking at the photo's on the website. Hopefully the set will look great then! Like i said, it definitely has some potenital!!

Why not have the cooking segments recorded, the same as some of Lorraine's pieces? The viewers wouldn't know any different.

It just seems like unnecessary furniture shifting during a live broadcast.

Even if they must do it live, what's wrong with using the performance area of the studio? It seems rather odd to position the kitchen in an area you are already using, when you have a reasonably large area which is used a lot less, and is more flexible.

If you mean a 'more preofessional look' to their news bulletin, then surely they would be better doing that before 8am.

Surely after 8am the whole output is generally just 'pink and fluffy' items for the intellectually-challenged. Wink

Wasn't the original plan to present all news bulletins from the newsroom back at the beginning of last year, hasn't a set already been built in the newsroom, with a real skyline?

No, I didn't mean a 'more preofessional look', or even a 'more professional look'. I meant it in the terms described, because that's precisely the sort of dotty tosh that passes for conversation around here.

If I want a professional news bulletin I look elsewhere, ta.

I think it looks a bit too cluttered but thats mainly to do with the windows. They might as well have news updates from the newsroom or the studio, not both changing after 8am. Or maybe they should just revert to how it used to be- no news updates during Lorraine's show. They could get away with having the last update at 8am as the final half hour is usually more real lives/entertainment slanted anyway.

But for all we know, this might just be a temporary measure anyway. It has only been advertised as Monday-Thursday so the kitchen might be dropped after then anyway.

Couldn't they have all news updates with Penny joining them on the sofa, or as said just set the kitchen up in the performance area.

I have to say the news looks quite good coming from the newsroom.

It seems a lot of effort for an 8 minute item!

Why not do what Breakfast Time used to do with their 60 Second Recipe?! (Which was basically a bunch of stills from the WI...)

I noticed that at the 8am bulletin, they used a static shot. I think instead of changing the location completely, they could probably get away with using the weather screen and projecting the image that should be behind Penny. At least it would give it a bit of continuity. Although a potential problem with that is the green 'news' logo ... but its in a darker green so maybe something could be done about that.

The news logo wouldn't affect it surely, so long as they just used a CSO plasma rather than wheeling the plasma to the green screen. If it did have an effect, surely the green map on the weather wouldn't be there?
