I agree about not having it too bright or lively. I liked the BBC4 news set up from day one and made comments at the time about how the titles for the rest of the BBC news output should head in a similar direction - which they sort of are (in terms of colour scheme, not so much in terms of classiness).

It looks like they're taking the opportunity of the weekend schedule (less live programming) to do rehearsals for 'The World', which is due to launch tomorrow. The BBC World summary at 3pm looks like it came from a CSO position somewhere (looked a bit like where the BBC One news comes from on a Sunday lunchtime).

Earlier today, I captured the aerial shot of N9, and something blue can be quite easily seen to the left of the picture below - Marcus (I think), said the new set is further forward than the old one, which would place it somewhere around where that blue object is. Is that part of the set perhaps?

The 3pm World summary came from N6 (nationals) at 3pm, as N9 (World) were rehearsing for the new BBC Four News.

It will be called 'The World', and i hope you like green.

Seeing that the Click Online colours are white and light blue, and the BBCi homepage colours change every day, i'm not making it out as you say I am.

No! Im talking about the Blue and green BBCi backdrop on channel 701 and 702 on freeview! And Click online blue put together and add 'The World' over the top. Is that what your saying about the set? Do you know what the new titles are like? Same colours as the set?

Lol.

But in answer to her question, the titles are the same as the old ones, but instead of the globe being red on a black backround, they're green on a black backround.

Joy, the BBCi stills on Freeview 701/2 are dark blue mainly. Click use light blue. They're completly different. Anyway, stop being so obsessive. You'll see it tomorrow.
