2019 General Christmas election.

It's a shame the Christmas trees aren't up. Seeing it hurtling into one would make rather entertaining television.

This reminds me of the 1997 and 2001 election studio

Probably because the atrium was used back then for those elections too.

Though didn't they have a platform overlooking the atrium rather than being at floor level?

Lighting projections on Broadcasting House are now being tested.

Vine did a Facebook live from Studio A. It can be played back: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/599656704196016/

A few caps, note the later 2 with rehearsals on the monitors.

Look very closely and you can spot the election graphics in the monitors showing Prof. John Curtice. Don't know what studio that is though? Have they borrowed Sky News' old studio in Osterley?

Speaking of Mr Curtis - it is apparently his birthday today!

As an ex-pat - hoping the trend of non-geoblocked politics shows continues for ITV. They've been showing Peston via social media which is quite nice. Caught it the other day and ad break switches to gallery and a short studio moment for guests to guess who is winning. But also enjoyed a long form version of the show's theme and the show producer in gallery jamming out to it!

BBC World News showed the final debate and some election stuff, so I'm hoping this means they will also carry the election programme too.

The column elements look like they are on a theme of Studio B.

An earlier post said that the data input remained at Elstree. Perhaps a small set up there?

Seems to be the toy of choice this year. Sky have one too.

You can see it on the right of the picture, by the yellow barrier.
