BBC News nostalgia, including BBC World

And now he looks more dapper than he did in 1999

Indeed he does!

There is a clip from 9th May here: https://cleanfeed.thetvroom.com/562/archives/bbc-news-virtual-era-ends/

That's just the way it is...

When the virtual ETA moved to N6 did the angle the newsreader was positioned at in the wide shot change?

The focus groups may have liked Huw in 99, but TV Forum were going to be rid of him and replace him with George in 04

On the subject of the wall in N3 being taken down to give a view into the newsroom, is this the reverse angle from the newsroom into the studio?

Well, there was a story in the papers at the time that because he was now the face of the news they'd given him a stylist and so on, but presumably that is quite common. I remember reading an interview with Tom Baker at the time where he'd clearly just been reading about it and spent the start of the interview complaining about how ridiculous it was to obsess about newsreader's haircuts.

According to News is People by Craig Allen, which is mostly about local TV news in the U.S., the BBC brought in American consultants to help them launch the 1999 relaunch:

I wonder if anybody would be able to help me, but I read elsewhere that when Fiona was first moved to the 10 with Huw she also did Sunday. Did she present the evening/lunchtime news as well or was it just the Ten? And when did this end?

Fiona started doing the Ten on Sundays from launch in 2000, alternating with Darren Jordon and others. She did also do the evening bulletin (which was always at 7:35pm for some weird reason) but I don't think she did the lunchtime. That might have been Moira's role who also read the news during Breakfast with Frost. Fiona continued to do Sunday's until 2007ish when after Mishal Husain took over doing them and Fiona joined the Antiques Roadshow.

^ It’s hard to believe that Mishal has been doing Sundays for 13 years!! Where has time gone......
