If there is another thread to merge this into then please do.

I have a question. While looking at dock 10 website I found this map.

I always thought HQ5-7 was a floor higher that the other studios. Are they all on the same floor and I’m an idiot or was I right?

Thanks

HQ5-7 are separate buildings- that's where they film CBBC and CBeebies presentation.

No they are just upstairs
As Martin Kempton reports
. The studio block has three small studios on the first floor (HQ5, HQ6 and HQ7) - and on the ground floor, four medium to large TV studios (HQ 1-4) and two audio studios, one of which is the home of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. This is very large - effectively a concert hall - and includes audience seating.

He also has more detail and comments on the (un) suitability of the HQ studios ...
Inspector Sands and TCOTV gave kudos

Am I right in thinking it is:
HQ5 - CBBC Pres/Newsround
HQ6 - CBeebies Pres
HQ7 - Blue Peter/Saturday Mashup

What is the "Outdoor studio"?

What is the "Outdoor studio"?

I assume it's the plaza area outside, I think it has lots of wall boxes and plug in points

I think the press tents were erected on there for the Leaders Debates. It's also adjacent to the Blue Peter Garden which I assume has its own plug in points.
