News 24 - what's going on?
 

OK, so what's going on at News 24? They were in the "BBC World" studio all
weekend (regular isn't it?). Today they are sitting at their normal desk,
but quite clearly superimposed in front of a screen with the "normal" News
24 background. Wonder what they are up to?! (Looks awful btw).

News 24 is getting a new set, new look and a relaunch, but I wasn't
expecting it so soon.

Same here. They were obviously superimposed over the background, and the
contrast is all wrong.

They've clearly borrowed the Doctor Who chromakey box, it's fairly
crappy. Where the purple screen behind them reflects on the desk, the
chromakey pastes in the background again, but not "reflected", so it
looks like the desk is bizarrely hollow, and everything lying on it has
a black outline.

Very tacky.

I worry about this bit, from that report:-

"A BBC News 24 insider once described the
original sets as looking "like a car crash in a shower room". "

What a warped imagination, whoever said that should take a holiday.

Yet another look? Will this be the 4th or 5th? I think they should bring
back the drums and flags +music they used when the channel launched.
They were fine!

Here! Here!

Get rid of that crappy 90-second (max, I think) countdown which is 99% full of
London images. There is life North of the congestion charge zone!

(Am I right in thinking taxis are exempt from the CC? Why? They make up 95% of
the traffic!)

And thank heaven for them - if it weren't for them we'd all have to

I dunno - taxis have usually had the Saturday night vomit in them and =
still smell - buses don't usually have that problem (mind you London =
buses are the old-fashioned ones whereas at least where I live we have =
nice new ones every five years or so - and most now go faster than the =
cars.)

Well, if I lived in London I know what I'd drive. And Stephen Fry already does
the same.
