I don't recall seeing it before and it doesn't really make any sense (not only would a lighting director never allow such a shadow in a real studio, but it implies the set is being lit from below). I continue to be amazed that this set has been allowed to persist for nearly ten years and am not going to miss it for a single second when it eventually disappears. Honestly one of the worst TV news sets in the UK in a long while.
Seems like the shadows got "darkened" this week and today is their debut... the shadows were very, very faint last Monday afternoon:
I totally agree with how absurd the VR graphics looks in Studio A in 2022... Studio A existed before the term "Metaverse" was even invented! It's not like their in-house graphics team are incompetent, they managed to recreate a SUPER FABULOUS Studio D for Politics London (despite it's missing the OTS monitors). Why not just cut away the Politics London graphics, make it versatile and deploy it to BBC London News or the NC/WN... I guess they're just not bothered to revamp the VR studio for the generic bulletins...
It makes sense that Studio A is the last to get upgraded, so looking pretty rubbish is going to be the normal.
