Yes they are using the set in the image... that is the only set in Studio B and there is no additional space in that studio.


The images posted above do not show where the Marr programme is sited. It isn't bunged in a corner.

In regards to the HD flag, the BBC have a critera that a programme can only be considered HD if a certain percentage of the overall output is HD. I can't remember the percentage off the top of my head but it is quite high. Therefore the Andrew Marr show presumably does not yet meet this critera and therefore isn't listed as HD, even though some parts will be broadcast as such.


The BBC HD-ness criteria is usually 75% HD I believe. Marr would probably be one of the few BBC News programmes that could hit that quite easily - as it's probably 75% or more studio chat?

Could be either something that has been overlooked in the billing, or it could be something to do with HD circuit availability from W1 to W12?

Most of the new TC-BH vision circuits are HD. (75% of them, if anyone's counting.)

Dunno what planet Generic is on, but the only bit of studio B you cant see in the image below is slightly off to the left of the shot you posted, and its just a wall. No extra space here.

You are only showing a part of the set in that latest image. None of the other part of the set which also includes a performance area and the part that he will walk in from for the into to the programme....
Only 34 hours til the launch. There is music on the first programme too.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been following this thread for ages now though.

One thing I can't find online are the list of radio studios and their location in NBH. I know there is S32 and S34 on the fifth floor, used for WS.

Does anyone know anywhere that there might be a list?

When does BBC World News move to NBH? Presumably, as they are using (at least) two studios, they will move into one at a time, just in case. Will it be Studio B first, as that's up & running, or Studio C so that Newsnight and the Sunday Politics get chance to get ready for/get used to Studio B.

Yes when does newsnight move in? If anyone is feeling generous maybe you could trawl back though the thread see if there are dates for specific programmes / channels and post a nice handy single post for me as I can't be bothered looking.

That's be fab. ta.

There isn't anything specific but the Newsnight thread says it'll move in, in October and I heard that BBC World News was moving in all at once but after the US Elections.

Article in yesterday's Guardian about NBH:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/sep/07/bbc-1bn-new-base-broadcasting

Some details/confirmation of timing of shows moving in, apparently "a string of national TV and radio shows due to move between now and Christmas."
Quote:
Newsnight will follow Marr into the basement in October, with Jeremy Paxman already visiting for rehearsals.

Quote:
Today and other Radio 4 news programmes are due to arrive by the end of the year, on the third floor

Quote:
Huw Edwards and the One, Six, and Ten O'Clock news bulletins are due to arrive in the first three months of next year, although a camera is already perched on a miniature railway which will sweep from the news studio to the weather centre yards away.


Also some interesting stuff on the Tube below:
Quote:
– Lucy Homer from Sheppard Robson said the building sat on "blocks of stainless steel industrial springs" to dampen the vibration from the Bakerloo and Victoria lines.
