I must admit I am actually looking forward to see what the temporary studio looks like. Might even be better than the current one!

It's gonna look the same I think; Somewhere back in this thread is a quote from digital spy which says they're taking their current set with them.

I reckon they'd want it to be as near to the original one as possible. We only know this date because we read TV pres websites. The general public aren't interested in such things and If, as both Marcus and NickyS have hinted the work is a longer than 'a couple of weeks' they don't want to look as if they're coming from a temporary site; they'll want it to look like the change took place overnight.

I reckon the temporary set will be the same as the current one, with red walls with lots of screens set into them as the background instead of the newsroom. Basically like the background they used on the national after the bomb outside TVC.

I believe the set will be where the current one is. If you look at the pic below there is a fair bit of room where the current set is, the pic is where the set currently is, but before it was built.

Building the set.


etc etc.. by the looks of the original time lapse, the set to 3 days to be built, from nothing to finished. But it may have been edited, so I guess 3 days to take down, 3 days to put back up. The current set came from in flat pack form (lol - Ikea set's)

But I think it will appear on air on my birthday. 27th oct.

That's on the assumption is only takes two weeks to build Wink

Surely it would make more sense to have it built up somewhere ready to just pick up and go. Rather than having it all built and not actually find out if everything fits until they get it there and discover a wall is too long or something,

I'm sure they made plans first. I doubt they just went in with some rough designs and some wood!
