I think going "sofa news" is a great idea, and arguably is something that could make BBC News more accessible in terms of appearing friendly for younger or harder to reach demographics. There is a reason programmes like Newscast are regularly in the top listened to programmes in the under 35 bracket. Conversational, relaxed and chatty but yet informed, unbiased and with expert analysis is, in my view, exactly what is needed right now. I also think the set looks brilliant in the BBC News branding too. Very excited to see what's coming up.
