If a new set can be debuted on a "normal" Monday (i.e. the day immediately after 2 days without full weekday staffing levels etc), then why can't it be debuted after 3 such days (the BHM being effectively just an "extra Sunday")?
Whenever a new set is debuted on a Monday, everything that needed be done (up-to-and-including all piloting/rehearsals etc) surely must've been satisfactorily completed by the end of the preceding Friday?
Also... given that the new sets have not been debuting until the 6:30pm programme on the launch day (rather than at either 6:25am or 1:30pm), they also have most of the launch day itself to do any last-minute checking/testing etc if necessary. Surely, this could just as easily happen on the Tuesday after a BHM as on a "normal" Monday?
