I think as as a guess, BBC World set has about four of five of those screens, as one of the screens in that studio, had the BBC on it, the screen itself was turned 90 degrees.

Just thought I'd comment- good on the BBC for making the tribute 4:3 rather than the crappy cropping they usually do! On Saturday BBC1 showed a tribute to Freddy Mercury- payed their respects by hacking his head off (cropped to 16:9).

BBC World is using the 'second studio' at the moment.

Thats the one - its a fabulous set that. The desk is 'tiered' i.e. it goes on a gradient from top to bottom - Mishal's on the top part of the desk there.

How many plasma displays to World News have?!

I know thet have the normal BBC News one, the World Today ones, now a news special one!!

That special with Mishal should be broadcast on BBC News 24 as well!!

Isn't that the Sport Today studios?

Yes it is the Sport Today studio. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's just behind where there cameras are in the BBC World studio, where the comfy area was when it was News 24's studio.

In the BBC World studio there are 3 plasma screens. Two in the newsdesk part (as seen on The World Today) and the third you can see in the pic above. There's also a larger projector screen that you can can just see to the right of the picture. That's a bit weird, because you can actually see bits of the set behind when there's dark parts of the picture on the screen (as best seen on Sport Today). Those vertical stips in the set are easily changeable, I've seen versions for Sport Today, World Buisness Report, Vote 2001 and the generic one seen here.

They are called Toberones, for obvious reasons, as there are three sides to each one. The rotate to give either WRB, Sport or BBC News branding

Shouldn't that be Toblerone? Or am I stuck in chocolate-fantasy mode again?
