It doesn't look as if BBC Plymouth are planning to dismantle the 'soft area' of their set any time soon, as there are some enhancements recently to allow for wider shots on Politics South West.

They've split up the sofa and added new lights on the left hand edge of the set. The large plasma (on the right) can move, so they tilted it to allow a long-shot which would hide a camera aimed at the presenter position, although the reflection doesn't look too clever.

Hopefully this means that Plymouth won't be going full-on NBH-B style flat-pack install.

Kate Haskell is returning to the weather on ITV West Country, Channel and Meridian this weekend after cancer treatment.

There was an interview on ITV News West Country from her home explaining how she coped with the last few months.

It's now been nearly 5 weeks since BBC Channel Islands de-camped to a temporary set (on Monday 6th February).

Given the unlikelihood that their new set will be made out of LED screens, but more simple/basic set wall materials (and therefore will not require the same levels of build time/testing/piloting etc that a tech-heavy set would), it surely can't be too much longer before they're back in the main studio?

I do hope that it will nevertheless be as much like the standard sets being rolled out elsewhere as possible, in all regards other than its size and the lack of ability for the backdrop to animate/change.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the old sets from an English Region was installed in the Channel Islands. I could see elements of the ex-Midlands Today one fitting in - it always looked tiny on air.

Do we know it's a temporary set? The studio location appears to be the same, they've just extended the background of the original set in order to remove the TV and make it fit better with the new sofa.
