Nice Surface Hub in the studio, shame they didn't go for the 84" version

Not keen on their being a studio at Westminster - they should use it on Friday morning. Somehow feel Faisal and Sophy should be in the main studio.

I believe reason for a Westminister studio is because it is easier to get hold of guests than at Sky's HQ.

One thing is noticeable however is the cameras in the Old Studio are not as sharp as the ones being used elsewhere.

Lovely opening titles. The 'results hub' studio looks fantastic - so a shame we seem to be in for another night of incohesive coverage, jumping between presenters all over the place.

I especially don't see the point of having Sophy and Faisal in a portakabin in a darkened Westminster when they've got a massive studio in Osterley that looks much better.

If it's anything like ours, it will crash several times tonight!

Considering Sky didn't have much time, the titles are excellent.

And they even have the into break titles with the same music as in 2010! Very nice!

A great team leading Sky's coverage tonight - great to see Sophy in that senior position, seemingly being the face of (at least the introduction) to the results programme.

I love what they've done to Sky News Centre - very clean, sharp, and much less dis-jointed than the 2015 set. Jayne's touchscreen seems a little small and on the dark side, but that's not a big issue.

I noticed some glossy new 'live' swipes too - wonder if they'll stay after the election coverage ends.

It's unfair to call the Westminster Studio a Portacabin, it's far bigger than that and has it's own screen it seems from looking on twitter.

Someone really needs to dub the Blockbusters theme tune over that!

Quite a bit of reflection on the glass behind Sophy. I don't mean to be harsh - it's just that the Osterley studio looks amazing and I wish they'd use it as a proper base for the night.

Surprisingly poor screen - I'm sure I've seen them use better touchscreens in the past. I thought Jayne was great, though.
