Don’t, some people will take you seriously…

The Loose Women YouTube banner still features Andrea McLean and she left last December. You'd think they'd update it to include Charlene!
The more they use them the more I'm not really a fan of the horizontal colour bars. They just somehow cheapen both the set and graphics rather than adding a bit of life to them IMO.

I actually quite like the new graphics, makes the show look a lot better if you ask me.

An absolutely stunning shot of Television Centre.

Is that part of the old scenery building I can see in the bottom right-hand-corner of the picture? Quite odd if they still haven't knocked it down...
EDIT: Clarified what part of the picture I was referring to.

I think those are portacabins related to the construction.
That picture certainly shows how small TC2 is compared to the other 2 studios. :o
When watching the show for a couple of minutes, it’s not difficult to think that presentation wise, the program has now remixed itself into oblivion - it’s like the original 2014 look on steroids.
The original graphic package based on the shape of the logo is still yet to be beaten IMO. Along with the music and the studio design, it was an extremely strong look.
Since then, they’ve endlessly (and somewhat pointlessly) revised the look, taking the program further away from its original look each time. Whilst boxed off graphics seem to have become more common, when you see the video below, I don’t think the original package looks particularly outdated 7 years on:

I even slightly miss Studio 5 at TLS having watched the above!

I believe it was taken very recently. White City House is complete and open with pool on the rooftop lit.

Upon checking Street View around Frithville Gate, my suspicions appear to have been confirmed, it is indeed still standing. Not entirely sure what (or even if) it's being used for, though this capture was taken a year ago versus the tweet above. As far as I'm aware the MSCP has now been demolished, so things may look slightly different now versus a year ago.

GMB have dropped social distancing (at least between Richard and Susanna) as of this morning

Well, 'reduced' rather than 'dropped' I might suggest - they now appear to be 'doing a This Morning' and working at a metre's distance as they're still nowhere near as close as they were pre-pandemic.
That massive table is doing them no favours in my view. On the wide shots, you've got Richard and Susanna sitting 'together', then a huge gap before getting to Charlotte sitting on the 'newsreader bend', with the interviewee(s) sitting on the 'guest bend'.
I know it's very on brand for GMB to have THE LARGEST DESK ON BRITISH MORNING NEWS and think that's something to be proud of but, especially now distancing is being reduced in places, it is looking increasingly farcical to me.
Is it just me, or did they not speak to the Scottish MP at all in that interview?
