Chris Mason's live hit into the Six was from the Millbank newsroom with a very wide depth of field blurring the background. It certainly looked like it was live rather than a background on a screen/CSO. Haven't seen that for a long time.

Just had a look for it on iPlayer - the background is definitely live, as the bottom left monitor in the background is showing the Six (with a seven second delay).

It does feel a little bit too defocused - it's blurrier than the BH newsroom as seen from studio E. I'm guessing last night's occasional torrential rain ruled out use of the balcony or one of the regular DTL positions.

Also last few weeks, there’s been a lot of building work happening at Number 4 Millbank
