As a person born in the 1990s, who grew up watching the Six O'Clock and Nine O'Clock news intros during my early childhood, it's a real privilege to be able to track down this nostalgic featurette (after seeing it several times before).
I was always told that the 93 set was fake but I never understood How it was faked. Glad to say this provided the answer. It really is impressive how much this studio broadcasted every day is able to trick your eyes into thinking everything your looking at is real.

The technology of the era was incredible and put to great effect. It was a classy and sophisticated look. That cut glass coat of arms with the spinning globe was sublime. The complete rebranding of BBC News in 1999 was comparatively unambitious and disappointing. They did away with virtual reality in the studio and the title sequence became messy and indistinct.

@AndrewHsieh96 i remember the intros as well
I am therefore a lot older than you, as in the 90s I was in my twenties. Remember this era well.
@@angelacooper2661 so do i
I remember watching this How Do They Do That back in 1997 when I was 12. Thank you for bringing it back to me, great memories.
What a Sweetheart Michael Buerk was (And Still is) in his Heyday!☺
The current BBC News main studio still uses robotic cameras (looking more like the monoliths from 2001)! But the set itself is quite real.

4:00 I love how some tv channels are acting like this technology is new in 2024
We now need a robot presenter
Incredible what could be achieved with such primitive processing power.
Yep!
Just show us the show's theme tune already!
