Think the wider angle of the desk that includes the monolith looks quite good, but the head-on shot that tends to be used for the bulk of the programme is probably the worst part of the set. It would look fine for a news summary, but doesn't work for a proper bulletin.
As others have said, B can look quite sterile. I think it works for The Six, but it could definitely do with warmer 'daylight' colours being added for The One and a few shades of blue and purple for The Ten.
Part of me think we'll see quite a shift in the way the set looks when BBC News eventually unveils a rebrand. There's obviously a possibility that Studio B was designed with a different look in mind, but this look was unfinished and we got the refreshed 2008 globe instead.
