But it does need at least a refresh and it's difficult to see how much of a refresh can be done when it'll still be in use every day, even if just for evenings & overnights, between 6 March - 2 April.

Personally I'd have thought they might have used A or D instead of C for this period to allow it to get a refresh, though apparently not.

If it's still being used in the evenings then the most I'd expect to change is maybe the two plasma(?) screens either side of the presenter being replaced with a tower screen as per B/D. Maybe also a new studio B style desk to replace the old one. Those are the only changes I can envisage being done within a short time window. Additionally, any new desk could potentially be moved into another studio in future if C was mothballed.

Replacing the three screens by the catwalk for a large screen (as per B) is probably too much of a push, though maybe limited camera angles for a couple days would allow them to be dismantled and replaced.

Incidentally, this 360 photo of studio C might be of interest to some.
