Yes, Swedish Television allowed the BBC to use some of their studio space, and it worked very well, as you said. It was a big improvement on the French and German election sets, which were, in fact, rooftops! I couldn't quite make out where exactly the Israeli set was - it seemed to be outside as traffic noise could quite easily be heard, and the background was wobbling (looked like paper!). An improvement on the Swedish special would have been to actually make it look like a BBC News Special - i.e. special titles, graphics and astons. I'm not sure why they didn't do it like this, as World usually do. Last night just looked like a normal bulletin with bits of it coming from Stockholm.

Moving away from the political and onto the pres front, what did everyone think of the Swedish set used by Sopel?
Personally, I thought it was an enormous improvement over the usual World and 24 sets. The background and small spotlights seemed such a good combination of the modern and avant garde. Also, being able to see the Swedish crew in the background really added a sense of immediacy to the event.
Hopefully the relaunch will reach these standards, rather than the dull beige backgrounds, garish red astons and mundane direction currently present.
