>From what I recall, for the first series the newsroom really *was* a
room - I'm not sure, but I think they shot it in the same building as
they used for exteriors (unless anyone else knows any better?).
However, at some point between series one and two, the building was
scheduled for demolition - hence they had to rush through as many
exteriors as possible and from that series onwards the newsroom
became a studio set - this also accounts for the differences between
series, as different studios were used for each series. I think.
Except series 3 & 4, obviously...
