BBC London TV News

No 8pm heads. Weather with Peter Gibbs (as England HD) instead.

The 8pm is supposed to still be coming from A according to a certain Mr Cook on Twitter, presumably because it saves staffing two galleries needlessly. Possibly some glitch relating to handing control of the opt switch to A from D?

A nice slightly-dark London backdrop

Looks lovely! Very impressed with the new set - it's national-quality.

There's something I dislike about the backdrop - possibly because it's so fake-looking, being across three angled screens. Certainly I prefer it to fake (or even footage of real) newsroom backdrops, but because it looks so obviously false it just sits wrong with me. Perhaps I might prefer it were it all one long screen as in studio C, but even that has always looked wrong.

My only niggle is the blatantly obviously fake little balcony which adds absolutely nothing at all. Who on earth thought that that was a good idea?

Maybe it's for Breakfast continuity? (Incidentally this mornings Breakfast updates still had the Newsroom backdrop)

It won't surprise me if the position used by the weather presenter earlier is where the Breakfast and Saturday evening bulletins will come from.

Breakfast bulletins this morning are using two shots. They opened and closed with a wide shot with the BBC London slide on one screen and then cut to a close up for the majority of the bulletin.

Was it me or was the audio really poor on tonight's 7.30pm report just then?

Bit shocked that BBC London chose to have Katie Hopkins on to debate homelessness.

It was the use of anti-homeless spikes not homelessness. I assume she is the only person (troll) alive who would dare defend them in a public debate.
