New perspective

As if to compete with the gritty reality of Kay Burley as a new competitor, BBC Breakfast has today re-invented the view through its pretend windows. The previous images, emanating from a laser disc, were created by an Italian graphic artist back in 2012. 

New Breakfast editor Richard Frediani has moved quickly (in BBC terms) to change them. If you believe them, the studio has moved somewhere around the first floor of The Lowry Theatre, looking north to the piazza of MediaCityUK, where flocks of birds fly on rotation. No sign of rain clouds, nor detritus in the glistening dock.  I suspect the Italian is still involved.
