The question is - how best to avoid looking at the black bar?
Adblock? Some CSS thingy? Greasemonkey?

I must agree that it doesn't quite work in this instance; if all
new pages
are to follow this format then it might be worth looking at how
the news
banner is incorporated better into this design format.

The double mastheads (black then red) take up too much space and
push the
main chunk of the site too far down the page. Apart from that, a
very nice
design. Centred and wider…. at last. /applause/

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!

When did this go live?! The black bar at the top will have to grow on

than a
search box?
