Earlier, in March 2002 it was announced that the former Financial Times editor, Richard Lambert, was to head a government review into whether BBC News 24 was fulfilling its remit. By August it was complete and while praising improvements made to News 24, it said the channel must become "distinct" from its rivals with a "clearer sense of direction". Mr. Lambert was deeply disapproving of the original News 24 style of presentation. He quoted one insider who said the original set "looked like a car crash in a shower room", and that the short sleeved presenters did not have a sense of authority. One argument seemed to be contradictory. "An absolute determination to be the first to break accurate news must be at the heart of everything the channel does', said the report. But in an era where Sky News were deemed to be the best for breaking news, how can the BBC aim to mimic the success whilst still being distinctive?

Television news bulletins on BBC One saw a relaunch on Monday, 20 January, 2003, coinciding with a change in presenters of the evening bulletins. The new set was smaller than previous and square in design, initially using a projected image of a fictional newsroom as a background though this design was later changed in 2005. The titles introduced in 1999 remained until 16 February, 2004.
