As a result the corporation has inquired as to the availability of Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, where the BBC often hosts its coverage of major political events. If the studio is not available then they could be forced to host the live programme from the corporation’s New Broadcasting House headquarters, although this could require the BBC to use a scaled-down set.
Does anybody else not see a big deal in this? Studio B has a lot of potential and it's the quality of the guests and discussion that matters, not the scale of the set. I still recall this opinion piece from last time round.
