*Very snazzy* music and titles for Sophy's new show on Sunday.

Sophy mentioned her programme would be coming from the glass box for 1 week only. Where will it come from next week -the old SkyNews studio or one of the other new Studios?


I've seen some mention of it going 'out and about'. Not sure if that means there will be a recorded sequence with Sophie (or AN Other) outside the studio, or if they will do a healthy chunk of the shows as full OBs (as Marr and Peston do sometimes)

The box doesn't strike me as a particularly great space for a multi-interview-based Sunday show, though it will contrast with Peston and Marr.

It's going to be based in the Millbank studio after this week in the Glass Box.

So basically a vain "Isn't our office great Prime Minister" moment.

Sky appear to think it's a trophy to show off to everyone rather than a studio, although to be fair in the article someone linked to a few pages back they pretty much said it was designed to be like that, but thankfully in recent weeks they have started to make an effect to rectify that.

An extra edition of All Out Politics tomorrow at 8pm.

... or could it be that it's much closer to Theresa May's constituency than Millbank, BH or South Bank and therefore made it an added incentive for the PM and her team to accept the invitation? (The excellence of my Sunday morning colleagues notwithstanding)

I think you'll find most company premises are like that when they've recently been built/revamped.

Indeed. I was in the building the day the Queen was shown round New BH and the News Channel (very famously) went open-ended on every second of the tour.

I think that was more to do with The Queen rather than BH though. No doubt we will see the over the top images of the PM getting out of her Jag and walking into the new studios tomorrow morning.

It will be the most transparent thing Theresa May has done since taking office.

Millbank means Millbank. (From next week)

Or, put another way, "This will not be a show that reports from the Westminster bubble" means reporting from Millbank.
