I guess we'll see - but there is a crucial difference in that all seven major parties will be represented, so there won't be the gaping hole there was in the ITV debate. That isn't to criticise them, they attempted to call the bluff of Labour and the Conservatives, but sadly for them and the public that didn't happen.
BBC has its first debate on Wednesday, but will it just be like the ITV one ie crap?

Has anyone seen a Ch4 or SKY promo for that interview happening tomorrow with JC and TM?

2015 was the first election night to not come from Television Centre. So, this is just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were more focused on getting things right in the new location than building a new set.
In 2015 the recycled their 2010 set with little tweaks. David Dimbleby mentioned it before the election night, that it had been spruced up and cleaned. Maybe this will be the template for their election sets

Hi VMPhil - ever since 2007 the BBC had planned to sell of Television Centre. It was not like it was a shock sale. They had plenty of time to implement plans for when they would move out.
Presentation is important. The BBC according to David Dimbleby thought the 2010 set was the best they constructed and so they kept it in storage and brought it out for the 2015 election and so on.
I prefer it to the ITV presentation, and I have no problems with it being reused again. I do like the little updates they do to it.

Just leaving this here as a little teaser for what's to come post-event on Sky tonight.
Needless to say, I'm going to be very tired come midnight tonight!

2 live shows; 2 studios; 2 buildings; within 30 mins. The best music would seem to be this: https://t.co/uD1KBhhWS8 #BattleForNumber10
