I don’t mind them shortening the headline sequence, but the titles made it all feel rather rushed. Lucy Hockings’ pace at the start was rather fast. Shame they struggled with the graphics and audio at the start - I guess this is why you soft launch something like this.
On the other hand, Studio C looks good with its new backdrop - looks much more realistic and interesting, and fits the faster pace better. I don’t mind the quite clean and minimalist ‘BBC News’ look on the catwalk screens in E and C.
Was Ben Thompson also controlling his own autocue prompt earlier? I thought he didn’t seem as comfortable early on as he has in the past, and wonder now if that was why?
