All of the flat red and grey around the newsroom loop cutout is still a bad bad idea. Half the time it looks like an average key, the rest looks like an okay idea that should have been addressed at the first rehearsal. The recreation of the side on displays from E and C made some sense when the set launched but can definitely be dropped now.
The original World NBH London skyline (or something very similar) like it would look great on B and be a point of difference so the audience knows it’s local output, not another boring NC hour on news from places that aren’t here.
Disappointing but in no way surprising that the current creative team completely missed the point of what made E great - it’s warmth and depth. They’ve gone to some effort in removing both of those for the loop when all they needed to do was film 90 minutes of newsroom activity from E and play it out in B.
