The most interesting thing about the new set appears to be that the audience is now in shot which I don't recall ever happening before on either the BBC or ITV incarnations of this show - which is some kind of step forward as before the audience may as well have been canned.

What still baffles me is why they don't just make the green room part of the set, if they're just going to continually cut to it.

The guest entrance looks more like the BBC set now. I thought the 'tunnel' (or whatever it was) they had previously was pretty cool.

Although the layout of the set is less like it was on the BBC.

Just catching up on ITV Player, and it seems the backdrop also has non-London landmarks now. Although I can only make out the Selfridges building in Birmingham and the Angel of the North.

But the old ITV set which was similar to the old BBC set which was, in respect, VERY similar to The Last Resort on Channel 4 from all those years ago!

Pretty sure Birmingham's Selfridges building was gone from the backdrop this week, possibly replaced by the Rotunda.

Not sure why, they may have thought it was too much of an advertisement for Selfridges. But sure London's BT Tower is still there.
