The pillars in Albert Dock that were painted grey for TV cameras are still there...
Maybe Morning Live could come from be Liverpool, somewhere down by the docks possibly?

The gallery normally runs based on Mosart automation, but it can just as easily be used 'freeform', even within a Mosart-driven show. All aspects (vision, sound, prompting) can be switched to manual at any point in Mosart.
Also the Breakfast/NWT studio is set up for news, using Mosart automation. That could be limiting for other more general programme making.

I’ll bet those occupying the upper floors are glad of that!

What are the options for manual server and graphics operation? (i.e. to replicate a standard EVS set-up and non-templated graphics operation)

You can toggle every external system control from a dedicated 'Standby' menu in the Mosart GUI. Some galleries will run with everything auto except certain kit; left in 'Standby' in Mosart it can be operated manually as if it were standalone.
Depending on what you have configured, you can 'Standby' everything - video server, vision mixer, audio mixer, graphics (Chyron, Viz, Ross etc), robotics, lighting etc.
If you decided to run graphics like lower thirds and control tickers/flippers manually, you still need BigTed and WOLTER (involved with lower thirds) middleware for MOS/Viz translation. Complex graphics sequences are easily triggered from Mosart macros, based on drag-and-drop MOS running order items added in OpenMedia. You can still do the essentials like locators and credits the long way, but why bother when Mosart can do (or control) it all with a single keypush?
The Viz CGs used in news and sport are now so complex and comprehensively scripted that they hugely benefit from automated Mosart assertion of the intermediate control systems. You can also set up Mosart macros to command a take in/out of individual graphics elements at will. Vision mixer (M/E, DSK and key/fill) plus CG setup (show style and text definition) in one button push.
To manually set up and fire graphics to a standard seen on bulletins would require some very deft usage of BigTed software in parallel with some rapid VMing. It's a very different approach from the semi-prepared Viz Trio/Arc client driving Viz engines like you see in sport coverage. Nowadays there's minimal exposure to Viz client software for people compiling MOS running orders for Mosart-driven shows unless they're Viz super users. There's inevitably pockets of CasparCG development and usage but definitely no signs of ditching Viz.
I think a fairly common approach is to run your vision/sound/cameras in a mode accommodating momentary manual override - for example an interview segment with a defined in and out but otherwise left to the director and VM. Once done, F12 keypress advances to the next item, cueing inset / fullframe and video wall graphics, cueing VT, rolling an audio sting, starting camera moves...
EVS/Quantel ports can be rolled the same way as always, unless they're set up for automation lockout. Mosart will often be configured for video server A/B roll - should you reload a running order or open a new one, it won't interrupt a playing port. You can setup whatever you like as a 'salvo' in a virtual port group, so you could theoretically have for example Quantels for a news portion and EVS for a Sport portion, appearing as a virtual A/B port group in Mosart.
