That is how the Frost Tonight studio is, but replace the teal green with dark navy blue and your there.

They may well come from the same studio at Millbank.

The Tyne Tees one looks exactly the same as the YTV one.

It doesn't look as if it's being produced in Gateshead, certainly; the studio facilities look as if they're not fully 16:9 compatible and the programme is being made in 4:3 and fully zoomed into widescreen (blurred visuals, camera shots outside the safe area etc). And the production slide at the end looks as if it's been captured off-air.

I can get screen shots if the panel deem it necessary but there's no point IMO.

Set seems fairly Simon Jago bog-standard BBC-ish.

A documentary airs on Border.


what a sodding surprise. How Border were ever awarded a franchise is beyond me. They're pathetic.


When they first went on air, they opted out of schools programming on the grounds that no school in its region owned a TV set! Laughing

The programme on Yorkshire started with a reference to it coming from "Here in London", it may be that many of the programmes are sharing the studio......

..... How long before the same happens to Calendar, and the rest?

Hasn't Yorkshire's Sunday politics programme come from Millbank for ages? Makes sense, as that's where the MPs are.

Yes even back when it was Around the House with Geoff Druett on a Thursday night it was done in London. As you say because that's where the MPs are.

Yep, this is nothing particularly new, the programme that used to be on a Sunday used a studio overlooking some rooftops in London. As long it's the views of Yorkshire region MP's surely that's what matters.

Also from next Monday ITV Wales will have Wales This Week at 8pm opting out of Tonight with Trevor McDonald.

Surprised that Helen Callaghan from ITN got the job of presenting this, thought it might have gone to Lucy Owen.

Helen Callaghan was formally a reporter on HTV News so thats probabaly why she is presenting it.

On Monday's Tonight with Trevor McDonald will be shown on ITV Wales at around 11.55pm so people will get the chance to watch it before Friday.
