We know theres no windows or anything, and it seems common in the UK for chat shows or gossip shows to have a skyline backdrop. Just look at GMTV & The Wright Stuff.


GMTV doesn't have any windows onto the outside world, and the Wright Stuff spent several years without windows. There's nothing to stop Five from adding a virtual window into their set, or one from bits of set GMTV style. A sufficiently realistic window and skyline backdrop can be added with two flats, taking less than 5 minutes to position.


Yep - the first Sunday AM set had projected backdrops, but they replaced them with higher quality stills and it looked better... The second set, which they are still on, uses a very good higher-than-HD London projected skyline which also works well. (Lots of people think it comes from a studio with windows for some reason...)

The only thing that really bugs me about Sunday AM (or the AM show as it is now) is how the clock face on the tower at Westminster (Big Ben to some) is blanked out, thus so you cant see the time it was recorded vs broadcast time. Always catches my eye when that angle is shown.


Very unlikely Five will pull this off, mainly because they're five. Even if they had created the One show before the BBC did it wouldn't of worked, mainly because Five has a bad reputation, it seems. Oh, that and they haven't come up with the One show, but an apparently worse version.

Hmm - not sure Ian Wright is the right person to front this at all. I'd misread all the bumph and thought it was MATTHEW Wright (who stood in for Adrian Chiles on The One Show a year or so ago)


Yeah, it was defiantly meant to be Matthew Wright.

Anyway it's got flop written all over it, the choice of the presenters reaffirm that opinion. You can imagine they'll change the format dramatically after about 6 weeks, dropping a presenter or two along the way then axe it after another month, it's the primetime version of RI:SE.
