I’ve never seen that studio look so good.

Although, it does remind me of The Weakest Link.

The titles even looked nice with what sounded like an odd edit of the existing theme.

The titles and the graphics during them using Reith but the straps during the broadcast in Arial. Shame.

Arial? Not Helvetica?

Isn't it Swiss rather than Helvetica? Either way, Swiss, and Arial are both designs based on the original Helvetica

Not Arial, they're in Helvetica.

Yeah. Over 750 days on, and we’re still using Gill...

Beyond 750 Days (of waiting for Reith)

I wonder if the end credit design was a new standard or just for this programme? It was rather nice and also in Reith. If they had have just got the straps in Reith it would have been a 100% Reith show, but no, it's the BBC so everything has to be a mish-mash.

Does this count as 'Sneaky Reith'? 'BBC News' in Gill but 'Press Team' in Reith…
