The digital studio looks perfectly fine - the background is screens, isn't it, so presumably those can be adjusted if needs be? The colours were a bit dull which I think threw me a bit initially as that background against their skintones and under that lighting meant that on some shots it looked more artificial than the actual virtual studio.
The desk wasn't great - very much looked like they were seated around a table pulled from the cafe at my former university - but that's just window dressing.
Overall- it's a decent set up which does its job and, like BBC Studio B, will no doubt have some stronger looks than dome others. The one today didn't quite work for me but hey ho, that's how it hoes.

As I think you can see, they're playing it quite safe at the moment. The space is very versatile with a view of the newsroom (that you couldn't see today), a large screen in the newsroom plus movable screens inside the studio itself. Hopefully you will get more of an idea in the coming months. It is also possible to operate it with a very small team, making these more ad hoc programmes possible on a much smaller budget.

Looks like someone pressed the wrong button at ITV News… went to sport report then cut straight to the weather. Whoops!

Very strange - no acknowledgement of the issue on the ident into the next programme either. Maybe the Royal Variety performance ran over and the news was meant to be shortened?

The Royal Variety Show overrun by 10 minutes. But no excuse to cut into the news abruptly with the weather report.

A pre-recorded programme (from 30th Nov) overran in the schedules?!?

There was definitely 10 minutes of content that could have been cut from that broadcast. Probably 1hr 10 mins to be fair!
