[harshy]

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.

The studio was covered up during rehearsals to stop people seeing into the studio and getting the wrong idea. The studio they use is totally isolated so no there's no mix ups

I think harshy was talking about the blinds in the cafe area overlooking the newsroom?

But what was the deal with the curtain they used when Newsnight was camping out in E, it was hinted that it was for obit use, but was it really just for added privacy in rehearsals?

Apologies I meant they had the ability to cover up the studio backdrop, they kind of did it during Newsnight to make the backdrop look more purple so I thought they had that ability to cover up the background when something major happens.
