Well, there was definitely some changes in the fifth series - yellow carpet
appeared to replace the (concrete?) floors of the earlier series. This is
one of PG's few cross-series continuity errors actually - in the Lynda/Sarah
flashback in "Friends Like These" the yellow carpet can be seem in the
newsroom, despite the fact that it wasn't there in the time between series 2
and three when the scene was set. (Picky, moi? Surely not! :) )
With regards to the set - I always had the impression (well, in the first
two series at least) that the Newroom really was a room - rather than a
major set construction - it seemed to have a ceiling, and four walls - I'd
wondered about what it was like to direct in actually.
