I understand about Scotland, Wales, NI and Salford but surely it would be more cost effective to have 1 studio in Salford and 1 in London or am I missing something here?


Impossible with three 24 hour news channels (NC, WN & Persian), one for London region, two for bulletins for partners)


Fair point.

In Salford both NWT and Sports news will, at times, be on air together.

In terms of B my earlier comment wasn't clear and meant I don't see those programmes returning. It's likely to see use for special events but that will require additional staffing including camera operators.

I do see the WN programmes such as Global or Impact returning but just in Studio C with maybe added use of the catwalk.

Talking Business is a tricky one as C is not big enough for Aaron to run around

And on the wide..

We’re all just going to ignore the fact that Dominic Rabb only owns one tie?!

Apologies if I sound stupid here but why does the background look different in those 2 pictures if he was sat in the same position?

One picture is before the summer break. And after picture is after the summer break where the background has been changed since the Marr show returned today. In studio E the red and white blocks above and below the London scenery is actually fake in that studio.

Is it the same in C or are the studios slightly different sizes and this has been done in E to make the image appear the same on screen?

Could B return to the air with robotic cameras? Cambots would fit easily in with the existing Furio operating system.

Marr has never come from Studio C. It only previously came from B since the move to NBH.

In Studio E, I believe the area to the right of the desk is a 'back projection screen', but normally portrays images to make it look similar to the real screens on the left hand side. Sometimes it's even slightly blurred to give the impression of distance.

For Marr today, they just made the whole image appear the same as the sofa area background would have been in Studio B.

B already has Shotoku heads. Could get some SmartPeds I guess, but you'd still need a jib operator and someone doing the robotic peds.

Maybe he stole the idea from Ken Clarke.

Jibs don’t seem to be used on the BBC World program in studio B. And the robotics could be controlled in Mosart like the Furios with manual intervention as needed.

It's one thing to have robotic cameras on tracks controlled by automation, it's another to have robotic pedestals controlled by automation. A certain satellite broadcaster tried it and had to bring back operators due to safety concerns and the fact that the cameras really weren't reliable enough to accurately go to stored positions.
