They're not exactly helicopter shots... But generally it isn't that bad. Caps ahoy:

The original Newsnight Scotland version (unbroadcast) featured Broadcasting House in London.

erm, isn't the Scotland lettering on the building black IRL?

That sign on the building continues to annoy me. It's like they used the wrong colours and were too proud to admit it.

I think the sign looks messy. It would probably look a lot nicer if the blocks were white, like at TVC, NBH, and everywhere else.

It'd appear they are in daylight hours but the letters are filled with white light:

I think that just shows how stupid the sign looks. The BBC's logo is the blocks yet you can only see the letters. Poor.

A whole newsnight given over to newsnight Scotland tonight. I would rather see the UK programme.

An appropriate comment considering the topic was independence last night.

They used the old endcap last night. BBC Scotland continuity at its best.

Will reporting Scotland get a new set anytime soon? , the current one has been in since 2007 and looks tired now!
And will Kirsty Mccabe be returning to reporting Scotland , after leaving?

In theory, they have more space to play with now, as the Review Show comes from somewhere else inside the building now and not Studio C. A Studio B style-set, but downsized, could fit and work quite well - it'd also be much better for Sportscene.
