The lighting made both Nick Robinson and Rishi Sunak look ill. There was a dodgy looking gap at the bottom of the back-cloth. And the projected image on the back wall looked really washed out.
Couldn’t they have used a proper set – maybe Studio B, now that’s out of use for most of the day?
I don't remember what they did for the last General Election, but in the past it's the kind of thing where they've either booked the studio at Westminster Live (, for the over-the-Thames view of Parliament), or an empty floor or an office building for a generic soft focus skyline view. I guess this time they wanted to go for the 'cosy' look and this was available and inexpensive to crew.
