Me too.. I like the wider pages, good considering the increasing amount of widescreen users (msyelf included). However, the black up top is too large and an unnecessary waste of screen real estate. The BBC logo isn't even aligned with the BBC News logo, so it all looks off-kilter. Also, a slight, subtle columnisation would work nicely - just a slightly darker background colour for the "see also" column on the far right of the screen would be nice. Some aspects like the darker bgcolor for image captions is gone, which is a shame as it helped separate the main body text from the captions. Not everything in the old design needed getting rid of... Switchable stylesheets would be the win!
