Yep, one in each half. They dismantle the right side of the set when the Andrew Marr show has finished and usually leave the 'baking tray' empty whilst the Politics Show is on air.

ISTR that they don't always strike the Marr set before The Politics Show - though they sometimes do. I can remember seeing bits of the Marr set through the purple perspex panel.
The PS set and the Marr set are both got in on Saturday - and as others have spotted, the cutaways of guests at the top of the Marr show are shot from the Politics Show set. If there is ony one guest then they are often sat on a Marr chair. If there is more than one guest then they sit next to each other on the Politics Show sofa and the camera pans between them (out of vision)

I liked the previous identity before a lot - very classy and well executed.
However the new one has a much clearer and more obvious graphic message to me - issues that people care about, locations across the UK. Execution is a bit more like This Week - and feels quite a lot simpler than the previous look - and if I'm honest, not as "classy". However classy isn't always what people want - it can be distancing. Sometimes simple and bold is more effective.
Not sure about the road sign on the carpet...

Those titles are hideous. A far better title sequence and identity before.

Semi-connected to the topic is that the
Daily Politics
had a bit of a revamp on its return today. New logo, titles and website (althought not in the new format).
Some minor tinkering appears to have happened in the studio (at Millbank, I believe) , with one of the large back projection screens being moved around. I wonder whether this is just for the "conference season".
This Week and some programmes for BBC Parliament are produced from the same set, so we shall see.

EDIT:
More than "minor tinkering". Looking again at those caps they have managed to make that tiny studio look even bigger (and I know the images are distorted by the camera anyway).

The set looks a lot better now, but whoever is in charge of these new graphics to both Daily Politics and The Politics Show should be shot! It looks like an explosion in PowerPoint 95!

Is that projector screen real or superimposed? I wouldn't have thought there was space for back projection there!

Looks like a Back Projector to me - the blacks are pretty "sat-up" (i.e. not very black) - often a sign of projection being used. As for space, you don't actually need as much as you might think. You can put the projector in a rig which fires it up and bounces it off a mirror onto the screen. It's an effective solution if space is tight behind a tight set, though the rig and mirror can be heavy, cumbersome and a beggar to adjust!
