Now if only they had a contemporary desk like the new Washington set.

Oh wow that does look very nice.

The BBC Wales Today/Newyddion studio is lovely.

However, it makes me wonder why after 7 years BBC Breakfast, which broadcasts live for 22 hours a week, is still shoved into converted office space on the second floor of a building in Salford, looking like something that a local cable TV channel would knock out.

Autumn should be the launch date. very nice set. but what’s with the 3 chairs at the desk?

Either social distancing for guests, or one VERY LARGE presenter.

Looks to me like a sofa type design?

Yes, that's what I thought. Wonder if the desk can be lowered too - it looks like it could otherwise wouldn't the red go all the way up the spine.

It reminds me of Sky News’s glass box in a way.

Pardon my technological ignorance, but is the logo displayed on some form of transparent screen, is it a static piece, or is the whole of the back wall a display?
