The bongs sounded a bit funny as well, plus there was no voiceover
Most obvious difference is that Mary is much closer to the camera than usual. Calendar must have been pre-recorded there is no way they could swap presenters during the length of one advert

To the average viewer it doesn't look any different!Absolutely. And remember that it's not just a case of needing a new studio, depending on how much is out of action at Grays Inn Road there will be journalists amd producers who need to work from elsewhere and the resources and capacity to edit all the items for the bulletins and everything else that is involved in making a news bulletin. Obviously this will be part of a pre planned DR scenario but even so having a regional newsroom/production facility suddenly needing to ramp up to accommodate the national news too is quite a task. I'd have thought that the recent thing for home working has helped a lot, as has having a foreign story as top item - it will have been edited in Ukraine.

Not much difference really in distance from London to most of the English regions - all around the 2 hour mark on the train with Birmingham a bit nearer, Newcastle a bit further.

The bucolic Meridian background must have had a few ITV London viewers thinking they were watching ITV Midsomer.

Was Calendar any different this evening by pre-recording the final segment to allow Mary to prep in the studio?

Surely she'll be staying up here as standby for the Ten?
