I agree any changes will likely be cosmetic with no structural changes to the set, but one thing they might consider doing moving forward is having the backdrop less prominent so it's still there but there are more elements of the set which obscure it. There are of course already parts of the set used for the fashion and gadget/beauty items which don't feature the river backdrop at all.
The move to TVC was only supposed to be temporary, while TLS was being rebuilt, which is why every element of the set in Studio 8 was copied.
It looks as through they're there permanently now, so perhaps it's time to have a tinker with the set design, but I doubt that background view will be going anywhere.

Rylan and Josie next week. Just in case Josie wasn't lightweight enough. She's proven gesellschaft to be an asset though.
I imagine it'll largely be the established four through to Christmas with just a few gaps to plug. Ben has also said he is doing another week before Christmas. Holly would have been off the last two weeks anyway based on recent years.

Looks like Alison is unavailable next week as she's filming a new Sky show with Rob Beckett & Josh Widdicombe that was on one of the ticketing websites.
Also - she's in the Birmingham Panto which runs from 16th Dec till 28th Jan - so can imagine she won't be available for all/most of that time too?

They are indeed there permanent at Television Centre, I was told the sublet agreement with BBC Studioworks was extended indefinitely, plus there really isn't any alternative for them to go to in London, apart from ITV Daytime building their own daytime studios, which of course they will never do.ndefinit

Phillip Schofield wrote in his autobiography that the move to TVC had been made permanent.

The sublet arrangement with BBC Studioworks was a godsend for BBC Studioworks, as I do know from some people who worked there that when Television Centre studios reopened in 2017, they were worried about not being able to sell out Studio TC2 to productions - it is a studio with a relatively small amount of space, and they felt it would be tough to get regular bookings for TC2 and then along come ITV Daytime who use it now five days a week for the majority of the year for Lorraine and Loose Women - as I say, a godsend for them.

A retrospective to start the Halloween show which made it look like Rylan and Alison have presented the last few specials, but two clips in there of Phil (and Holly) for the first time I think since he quit.

Phil and Holly were briefly seen yesterday when they paid tribute to Matthew Perry. They played part of an appearance he made on the show, the audio was all him responding but it did include a shot of Phil and Holly on the sofa.
