My viewership of political discussion programmes of any kind is usually zero, but I happened to catch the start of "politics live" [sic] on Friday and I rolled my eyes at the fact that it's still using the Gill BBC blocks.
I just decided to check out the various iterations of "politics <region>" from across England and Wales*, and - disappointingly but unsurprisingly - most of those are also still using the Gill blocks. (*Scotland and Northern Ireland's equivalent Sunday morning politics programmes do not share the "politics live"-style red branding, so I excluded these).
Wales, London, East Midlands and (West) Midlands are the only ones using the Reith BBC blocks. This makes me wonder whether other regions will update the blocks coinciding with when they get their NBH-B style LED sets.
