No they weren't. The technical installations were a challenge but went successfully. The set was installed like any other. Perhaps the only interesting point about the set was the real gas fire installation and attendant logistical issues.
I briefly entered the GMTV studio in the yr 2000, I do recall a large cable duct across floor at the studio entrance, because that part of the building had a solid (rather than 'computer') floor ? Nothing that unusual, I've encountered similar worldwide !
Not quite sure what you mean by 'across the floor' Markymark? As you say the studio had a solid floor and so all the cabling for wall boxes/cameras etc were within cable troughs/ducts at roughly waist height. The control room also had a solid floor, so the computer flooring there is only about 4" deep. Tight but enough.
