It's giving me The Day Today vibes.
Harry Hill style side camera, I mean I can’t tell if some of this is supposed to be intentionally funny or not
The News Desk was a pleasant surprise and went in very quickly, you can really tell they threw the cash at this venture and it looks good so far.

Whatever your political opinion, Piers is a master of providing this type of format.
Again, the use of video walls and camera angles is very Fox News.
This is like a midlife crisis on air.
A confident and strong start for The News Desk with plenty of stories. As it's presented by Tom Newton-Dunn, I was expecting something more Westminster focused. It does borrow a lot from The Sun in terms its style "Mum" "Brit" etc.

Piers ranting at no-one, punctuated by juvenile graphics and sound effects. Embarrassing.
"Good evening. Dull, grey, cold, miserable - and that's just me. The weather hasn't been great, either."
Is it live? As itll be shown in US and Aus later i guess that limits talk of something which is currently breaking.

I agree with some of what Piers’ points, on these matter but it was a difficult 10 minutes to watch.
I've tuned in near the end of "The News Desk" the graphics look like Fox News/ Business/ Weather, kind of both surprised and not (since common ownership). It looked alright, a simple set. Piers' set looks good, they spent some money on it, I guess because it's also going to be on in the States (FOX Nation) and Australia they wanted to give it a really quality studio look. Looks pretty good, much more thought out than GB News when it started.
