Obviously will have to wait to see how it all comes together on air before making a full judgement, but quite a nice looking set - particularly a good mix of things based on the Studio B set and some unique elements - shame that the Scotland set wasn't afforded the same level of creativity. In all, probably the best Breakfast set in at least 15 years, if not ever (to be honest, the programme's not yet really had a good one).
There are a few quibbles I have though - the catwalk videowall looks a bit low down, and unnecessarily so; and the newsroom backdrop does look a bit darkly lit - I hope we haven't got another Cardiff-style lighting disaster. I also can't really say I'm a big fan of the coffee table design or the fact that the backdrop is of the building they are in. I also feel it'd be better if the above screen panelling had a bit more depth to it, as per in B.
The new graphics as we've seen them so far look fine - though I suppose it's really a question of how they animate. They seem to be going down the same abstract circles style as the recent BBC News programmes, though the shots seen in the above images do appear somewhat more like a finished product than the four recent proof-of-concept-esque title sequences.
