I take it this means there will also be some considerable change to the This Week set too?

Quite optimistic for the new studio, the old one was looking rather tired.

That *is* the new set

At least we finally know where the BBC source their generic telly chairs from.

Clearly, lol! I mean I wonder if we’ll get a refresh or if they’ll stick the sofas back in and keep at roughly as it was.

I thought that was this one?

The old one wasn't really that old. It had been refreshed when they decamped to BH Studio A for the upgrade to HD a couple of years ago.


It looks as though they're going for wall-to-wall screens to maximise usage of the space. However, they've always managed to make it look bigger than it is with the previous designs.

No, only Sky News 2018 would create a set as dull as that.

I quite like the latest "basement sleazy night club" style for TW. I would hope that they can create a similar look in the new set.

The Andrew Marr show moves to 10am when it returns this weekend. Seems a strange decision to me, a little bit late. Most people who aren't politics junkies will be off doing things by then.
