This promo gives a sense of how things will unfold on Sky, including tiny sneak peeks of the election set.

bilky asko, Critique and London Lite gave kudos

The set's certainly a better effort than anything they've had since at least 1997 (and may yet top that on the night). It definitely looks like a 'nerve centre', which is something I think the best election sets do.

I'm assuming that any guests will sit along the side of Adam's desk?

I was at the (ridiculously posh) Sky Studios building for Thronecast the other night and spotted that Sky News's election coverage was on the list of programmes occupying the studios projected onto the wall in reception. Good to see them doing something a bit different this year. The Sky Arts stuff looks great.

It's actually Studio B in Sky News Centre.

Dave's Election special is a mockumentary of Al Murray's Pub Landlord's attempt to be MP for Thanet South.

Hmm... Obviously you would know, no argument there, but there was definitely a "Sky News Election Special" listed as being in Studio 2 in the newer building alongside a host of Sky Sports shows.

Here's Look North's set for tonight - good to see Harry Gration behind a desk after all these years of sofa based sets.

Very Question Time esque layout on the Yorkshire version, with Harry Gration doing a good impression of David Dimbleby

He hasn't asked for a response from a man in the spectacles yet though, but he has promoted the Twitter hashtag!

Best looking sets from scrolling through in my opinion by far are London and Look East. Look North Yorkshire is a close second and Spotlight's doesn't look bad either.
