I think they used the same physical desk at that end of the studio for both programmes, but with a lighter coloured top for Breakfast News. It was certainly my favourite set for BN, as were the titles of that era.

I agree, Stuart. I thought the pre-97 Breakfast News was too cold and austere for that time of the morning. And Breakfast from 2000 onwards was a bit too clinical, even though the titles were nice and warm. The 1997-2000 version of Breakfast News was my favourite too. I loved the titles and the music was great as well. I seem to recall it was composed by George Fenton. I used to like the opt to the regions as they used to give a good long blast of the headline vamp while showing the markets/currencies etc.
Amazing I love watching feeds like this the magic of television been put together :-)
