I'm quite impressed by how effective the parquet flooring *under* the rug is, albeit as previewed on a grainy IG post of a photo of a monitor.
I'll reserve judgment until I see it on screen, but it's quite nice to see so many different elements brought it, it doesn't feel like the usual One Show set at all. It's not my kind of show, but it does seem as if it could be quite a suitable bit of set decoration.
That lot will take some shifting before 7pm tonight. I wonder what state it will be in after a few weeks of setting and striking I can see some creativity sharing the budget between this and the One show. Not sure about that rug though. Car boot sale job
First impression is the studio looks like a room set in a furniture shop.
Also, the sun light behind the windows is quite strong so it's appears very washed.
Yes, the window view is totally blown out. They really need some kind of screening to darken it.
Sunday Morning Live (which broadcasts at a similar time) has historically hung a weighted gauze outside the studio to reduce the light through the windows. You used see it rustling in the breeze some times on some shots. However I suspect the number of people required to safely hang that and remove it each day may be tricky with social distancing rules in play.
The studio windows do have ND installed on them for the period when The One Show broadcasts in sunlight, but that is removed annually when The One Show broadcasts in darkness (like now).
You would think that if they’re going yo mothball Studio B for News that they could turn that into their multi-purpose studio for The One Show and Morning Live and all the others than use the space.
The cost required to either work Studio B into Gallery V, or re-build Studio B and Gallery B to work in a non-News way is pretty major - and News may still require Studio B and Gallery B for ad hoc programmes (elections for example).
