Channel 4 invited Stanley Johnson to the spin room.

Looks like ITV's election coverage is coming from the atrium

The atrium looks so small in that shot.

But presumably the bulk of ITV's coverage will be coming from the studio - I see from tonight's Ten (Thirty) that the extra part has already been added to the desk.

The atrium was last used by ITV for the election night in 2001. In 2005 they used the atrium in their curved virtual set, but this will be the first election since 2001 that they will be using the main atrium for real.

The atrium will probably become the election results centre for ITV, with Studio 1 being the main presentation area, unless ITV feel Studio 1 is just too small for general elections.

Well, apart from *checks notes* 2017.

Yes, it's been used for the more informal parts of the show more recently.

Back to tonights debacle and I think Peston has nailed it. Talking of which a shame ITV didn't add an extra weekly episode during the campaign. I think a Sunday or Monday night addition would have been worthwhile.

Won’t the atrium just be used as the social media area (wasn’t it called the Opinion Room in 2017?).

I meant the atrium used as the main studio, with the main presenters based in their. Jonathan Dimbleby was host in the atrium for 1997 and 2001 when it was fully based in the atrium with a purpose built in set.

To be honest I think Boris has played C4 like a fiddle here and their stunt has backfired - nobody is talking at all about the contents of the debate. Only thing I've found mentioned on Twitter is Corbyn being challenged over nationalising the gas industry if he's truly committed to tackling Climate Change.

Is it that much of a stunt? Johnson said he wouldn't debate with anybody other than Corbyn because nobody else can become PM. The other leaders said they wouldn't debate with Gove because it's a leaders debate. Seems fair enough.

How OFCOM handle the ensuing Tory complaint will be interesting.

Conservatives have said no (and it's now running as a youtube advert too).

Although can you spot the mistake in the spokeperson's message?
