Some more recent photos from inside PQ - including one showing quite how exposed the newsroom camera position is.

Gosh, it looks pretty stark doesn't it. I know TVC is hardly pretty in corridors and so-on, but all those breeze blocks, flourescent light strips and exposed pipe work makes it look like the cellars of a swimming pool...

To be fair, the office areas are a bit brighter and warmer feeling - though on a grey day (which in Glasgow is most of them), 'the Street' can feel a bit grey and oppressive when you're looking back towards the entrance.

it's a bit of a bomb site that set isn't it.

What exactly is this picture all about?

Is that the old News 24 graphics blown up and printed on a wall? If so, why?

It's displacing Doctors by a day - though Friday's doesn't yet seem to appear in any schedule.

BBC Scotland are currently showing Salmond's speech from the start so running on a 10-15 minute delay whilst the BBC News Channel shows it live - subconscious message from the BBC? Stay with us and you'll get it LIVE lol

They appear to have changed their mind already - it's gone off air on BBC One and moved to BBC Two. Doctors is on after the news summary, and a bit of CBBC has been reshuffled.

I'm surprised they allowed you to take so many photos ... the tours of TVC aren't allowed to for security reasons.

There's also a Big Debate programme on tonght after the news. Some bits of the set look like they've been kicking around since the 2005 General Election debates. (I was in the audience for some of them and apparently have the memory of an elephant.)

I wish they could get the music loop right during their insert into the news at ten o'clock. Sometimes there's a break, and sometimes it sounds like it's at a completely different speed...
