BBC Breakfast

I do hope that both programmes get a new set sometime soon. I know the studio is an odd shape, I know the ceiling/lighting grid are low but to me the set itself is really very bland and has been since it was installed. It's not a very natural fit for the curved sofa either, the angles and spacing between the screens always look a bit odd to me.

It'd be nice to see something curved if it's possible in that space - I think it would fit the sofa better and it's more in keeping with recent regional sets. There seems to be a lot of wasted space at the opposite end to the main sofa area as well, where there are currently just lighting boxes.


Indeed, the BBC Spotlight studio is a perfect example of a well laid out studio in a small space. I believe its the same size at NWT/Breakfast studio but it feels more organised/airy, where as the NWT//Breakfast studio is odd shaped, disorganised and therefore doesn't allow for decent angles. Myself I would move the sofa to the current Business area, maybe with the presenters at a 45 degree angle allowing for a camera to separate presenters.
