Seeing as the old thread has been archived, I couldn't post.
On today's show what i did notice was during the Boris Johnson interview, Andrew was in a green screen studio which tried to replicate studio b. Would this have been the bbc news at 9 studio?
Yes, they've used this a couple of times before (the one I remember being an interview with Prince Harry ahead of the Invictus Games), and it's just one of the virtual sets that Studio A (the green screen box formerly home to the News at 9) can make use of. It's a fairly convincing recreation, but because they can't do depth of field seemingly in the virtual studio the background behind them looks a bit rubbish on close-up shots as it is pin-sharp.

Okay thanks. I wonder why the real studio b wasn't available to use on a Saturday.

If it was recorded yesterday, then perhaps it was a lack of staff (or full compliment of staff)? At least some of the cameras in studio B are manned, whereas those in studio A are remotely operated, and the set dressing might not have been due to happen until later in the day.
I think the Midlands opt out of The Politics Show used it, but they've moved to the studio now for Sunday Politics opts.
Yes. ISTR The Politics Show opts were originally live - so being from an open plan office on a Sunday wasn't a major issue (most people weren't in), but now most regional opt-outs for Sunday Politics are recorded on a Friday I think, when the office would be much busier.
AIUI the backdrop isn't that great in the hours of darkness either.
