I'm a big fan of Studio B but yeah, it's almost like they've not loaded the correct template. You go from the very bespoke, solemn titles into the standard bright white studio.

I guess it could have been so much different - wasn't E with the purple backdrop (later used for Newsnight) the original plan?

For anyone interested, "Australian TV Fan" has uploaded some videos of their breaking news/breakfast. Including Channel Nine who went straight to the BBC so viewers saw the "News Report" slide.

Well we heard about obituary rehearsals in studio E with the blinds down which I assumed would have happened for a passing of major important figure yet that didn’t happen with huw over a live newsroom backdrop which I thought would have been covered up based on what was said in the past regarding these rehearsals.

As to Yalda Hakim, she’s usually unflappable and has come on leaps and bounds, it’s very disappointing to see her make such an uncharacteristic mistake, she has apologised but one would hope that hasn’t ruined her career.
