Very Happy Obviously I do have a bit of a biased opinion that Scotland Todays' studio is the bust because of its' sofa/coffee table combo. However I do like the "Calender" studio as well. What's everyones view on this and what's the worst regional studio? Very Happy

What, the set's got nice breasts?

Well, I'm not impressed by the CSO regional sets, IMO they all went downhill when standardisation took over. But it's got to be Northeast Tonight.

The best ITV Regional News set's i've seen has to be:
Arrow London Tonight (ITN)
Arrow Westcountry News
Arrow Anglia News (West)
and finally Arrow Calender

The disappointing thing is it's mostly the same colours.

I agree. I do like LT, and Calender. Anglias' set irritates me as it could be REALLY good. But you get the feeling both them and WCL CANNOT be bothered. Which is a shame

The worst just has to be Central West.

how is Central West's the worst? It looks a damn lot better than some of the regional news rooms.

There is nothing wrong with the Granada Reports Set.

It isn't too bad, it could be improved, I preferred the old set they had until last year, there could be more dark blue to give it a more Newsy effect and make it more like other regions. IMO I don't think Central News West's set isn't too bad, I think it would look better if they sat behind a desk, but the use of the screen at the beginning of the bulletin would look better.

I'm not keen on the new London Tonight set, it looked better when they had the genuine view of London, the window they use now doesn't look right at all. I don't really like Calendar's set, it doesn't go well with the ITV look, again from what I have seen of Anglia News' set, it doesn't look right with the mix of the actual desk and CSO (I've seen this on UK Today on the NC quite often)

Though I like Granada News' CSO, simple yet effective.

Yeah i think Granada's old set would have worked better with the ITV News look, But the new set is not that bad.
