The presenter sat on a tiny rostrum above everyone else, like a medieval queen, is a curious design choice.

I am thinking it was so that her eye line was compatible with the large plasma screen behind her as a full screen background.

That screen can change position, and they had rotated it so that the camera facing her was straight onto the image for head shots.

Leeds are using their whole set. Plymouth are just repurposing a very flexible 'soft area'. It's not the same at all. They can put in one of those Towers, without ripping out the rest of it. There is plenty of space.
