The main background shot was the backlit huge plastic screens, different for each programme.

The 'sidebar' was a beautifully aligned split graphic, the lower part being a normal CSO against the blue of the real background, the upper part with a masked area over the shoulder which covered the otherwise orange area of the background which couldn't be CSOd.

It worked perfectly if the talent didn't move their head or waved their arms too much.

Definitely something not quite right with it on that occasion - the opening sequence going from a wide shot with the presenters in sillhouette to Huw fully lit!

Also it’s funny now watching Jeremy Bowen interviewed at the desk in the studio in that clip, as Jeremy was also being interviewed at the desk in the studio at 10pm last night by Reeta Chakrabarti, 33 years later!

... As well as going on to be one of the lead co-presenters of Breakfast 9 years later.

The Breakfast News set seems to have been kept up on a permanent basis in Studio TC2 back then, which was the studio BBC News and Current Affairs used for Breakfast News, Newsnight, Newsround. Handy for them to pop in for this special edition.

As on other occasions such as Bank Holidays, the short breakfast news bulletins on those holidays were usually presented from the newsroom set, used by the 9pm News and weekend news bulletins.

I wonder if it's a standby opening with deliberately obfuscated presenters? There's also no headline image next to the three globes, as can be seen in the final virtual bulletin:

And 33 years later, his daughter is a regular presenter on the sofa… (but more commonly heard on the radio at the same time!)

Wouldn't surprise me if it was some kind of generic version. Due to the rear projection screen, the 1999 set was very central within N6 and the left-hand wall might have obstructed the placement of the camera for the wideshot - possibly more of an issue if the set was in construction.

The wideshot is there on the closing shot, complete with headline graphic, so it's an intriguing one.

3 Hours of BBC World from September 1997, including the morning edition of Newsdesk with Philip Hayton, two bulletins with Anita McNaught, an early HARDtalk and Reporters with Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

Thanks! What an incredible find - from the last month of that branding before the second flags era was ushered in in October 1997. This is quite rare as well because that Newsdesk branding had only been introduced in March 1997.

Hopefully the first cream and red era from 2000 on bbc world will turn up too :-)
