BBC Sets Re-used?

I haven't noticed before but it appears part of a Politics Show set is used in the "Doctors" surgery reception (horrible gray backing).

So where else has a BBC set been recycled and recycled? (Frost springs to mind as well).

The totpset was recycled for totp Saturday before the revamp and after the revamp until they got a new set

I suppose the most obvious example is Points West use of the old BBC Three 60 Seconds set.

Didn't the CBBC set sport the 1999-2002 BBC News Desk for a while?

The 2001 Live and Kicking set was used for the BBC Scotland opt-out for Children in Need later that year. The L&K logo replaced with CIN. There's an image somewhere.

(i think? )

The back screens on Generation fame looked very like those used on National Lottery Jet Set, although I could be wrong.

(you can see the L+K set reuse at saturdaymornings.co.uk, I should know as I capped them!)

I thought it "looked like" I don't think it was.

Not exactly the same but the set for Kate & Douglas's office in BBC's 'Kiss Me Kate' was used as someone's house in ITV's 'Barbara' - of course they both came from Carlton in Nottingham so it makes sense.

In the BBC1 broadcast of the Little Britain Series 2 sketch where Daffyfh goes to police station for a job as the gay community officer, The police reception set was used again as a police reception desk in a My Hero episode (in series 5)


Watch some of the old US sitcoms from the 60's re-using the same sets across the different shows was common as anything.

Speaking of Little Britain, the sofas and coffee table used in Boxing Day's Little Britain Night on BBC Three looked remarkably like an ITV regional news set.

I seem to remember Broken News or Dead Ringers having an extremely good mock-up of an ITV news set, so it was probably that.

I think it was that update of Much Ado about Nothing which had the near-perfect copy.

Near-perfect but for the fact it looked better than the original.

bbc three liquid newws set was virtually transported to bristol for points west
