I like the studio like this, and the desk it lit with yellow instead of red.

Mike Cartwright appeared from Cambridge during the opt so I guess everyone is getting the rest of todays news there, unless another mistake.

Look East are certainly making a big deal out of London 2012 considering they are actually in Norwich! We've had no such decoration on Look North Yorkshire but we did have a couple of reports about it.

Probably because we have a very high number of athletes from our region and many sites as training grounds, and the region who only recently had the flame pass through.

Midlands Today joined in. Oh yes. The Olympics graphics were on the plasma wall to the left of the desk - Oh, sorry no, that was just a vision mixer crash...

Interesting to see where the cash for this fanfare LE are making has come from!

Mike Cartwright is a nice guy and was a prefect at my school when I started and was always very fair. Would make a good replacement when the smug Staurt White goes. Seems that the west's Amanda Goodman gets very little screen time on the opt out these days.

The olympic set looked good but they over dressed it with loads of cushions.

Its very similar to the Jubilee set, table I think the only exception and I think the lighting

Ross Hutchinson presented his last forecast this evening, mentioned by Becky. Not sure where he is heading or who is replacing him.

Just to note, both lead female presenters for the East are currently pregnant.

What on earth have they done to the BBC look east set?

It's like an ikea reject bin... those cushions really are something else.

It wasn't until the wide shot until I realised that they were in the usual studio, it almost looked like a temporary lash up with poor old suzie perched uncomfortably on the end of the sofa.

I agree he's a nice guy, I briefly talked to him last night whilst they were waiting to do an OB. Unfortunately the bulletin got shortened slightly due to the Olympics resulting in only about 60 seconds live after the weather, and the location was wrongly labelled as Bedford. Mike & the cameraman then stay for about an hour afterwards to film crowd reactions to the high jump as well as various vox-pops.

He's now ITV Tyne Tees and Border's full time weather presenter, taking over from the departed Philippa Tomson.

Thought it was worth mentioning Julie Reigner is back presenting the BBC Look East forecasts.
