Ironically, what's on the screen there in 2018 looks very like the new Studio B style regional backgrounds.

I was never really a fan of the 'bar stool & bistro table' set up for Breakfast, but the moving background was nice as I used to wait for the birds to fly past emerging from behind the vertical Spotlight banner graphic and I liked the rippling water effect.  I'm easily pleased at 06:30 when having my morning cuppa. 

What you actually saw was just the presenter and the table/laptop, with the screen in full view behind. You didn't see the trolley carrying it or all the equipment underneath. There were no wideshots. That's what made it inferior to sitting at the desk (as they do now) or on the sofa (as pre-bar stool).

The main vista behind the desk in Plymouth for other programmes is already very similar to the NBH-B style sets, it's just changed using lighting effects rather than an LED screen. The only difference is they have to use plasma screens to display graphics for news items - but I can live with that.

Same i didnt like the bar stool or table, but the backdrop was very good as i always watched for the birds too haha, be nice if they could do that for behind the desk now? 

its like when watching Itv West Country i was for the old livery First Great Western Train to go over the Tamar  :-P

simple things eh
