There was a report about Julia Somerville on tonight's ITV News at Ten.  There was some interesting shots of the old ITN Studio I captured to share with you.

Yes, the good old days.
The best studios of their day, they still look modern 6 years on.
Not sure about Julia's shoes though.

The report was about a guy who has been convicted of stalking Julia for many years.

Who thinks the old ITN studio was much better than the one used now.

BTW: Is it the same studio that is used for the ITN News Channel?

The old studio still looks modern today, I like it more than the Beeb's studio. In comparison, the current studio looks dated and old!
A new desk would look better in the old studio though.

But you're right in thinking that the ITN News Channel comes from the old studio.
ITN don't use that studio effectively though, the angle is all wrong and it only looks good when there is light coming in from the window behind.

There are many other studios in the ITN Building - Reuters' News Channel is one, they use a similar sort of studio.
Very nice building though - it's just not used enough.
It also annoyed me a great deal when J. Dimbleby reffered to the ITN Building as the 'headquarters of ITV'.
ARG!

I think we should hold a protest: 'Bring back the old ITV News Studio!'
