South East Today region

Okay then, Oxfordshire have moved to South Today, and therefore to South of Westminster.

Presumably now that Kent and East Sussex have broken away from NRSE and Sth Tdy respectively, they've also broken away from Metropol (and Sth of W'mnstr respectively) to receive a Tunbridge Wells-based Parliament programme?

What will it be called? 'South East at Westminster'? I am surprised there's no link to an apropiate website from the SEToday website. After all, there is for all (?) other BBC regions (e.g. a link to Midlands @ Westminster from the Mids Tdy website)

Also, at one time wasn't the programme for the old Elstree-based South East region (when even Oxfordshire was part of it) called 'Around Westminster'?

At what point did Around Westminster become Metropol?

Will Metropol be altered to fit in with the BBC LDN look?

North of Westminster should have a new look when it returns too, at least studio-wise.

Well there will have to be - the old three circles set went in a skip somewhere never to be seen again! Wonder if it will come from the main studio as with the Super League Show or from the new soft area...

Quite recently, I think it was only about a year ago.

Indeed. Around Westminster was the main programme until it was axed last summer. Last host was Shaun Ley who is now on network news

Originaly Metropol came from Elstree using the same arrangements of monitor and seats - the only real difference I noted was the fact that they tried to do a horizontal blind effect on the video wall, as well as originally trying to make it more relaxed (basically Shaun Ley with no tie)
