It's massive! I couldn't find my bedroom window but I've stumbled upon this guy instead : http://btlondon2012.co.uk/pano.html?view.hlookat=172.0456...

Google doesn't HAVE to blur faces (except in only about two countries). They do it as a PR gesture, to please people. This has had terrible effects for photographers, who are often told that "they have to blur faces like Google does".

That looks like a setup, the One Show is a simple early evening show.

Yes, there is no shadow around him, unlike the guy walking past. I think it has been photoshopped in.
