Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but why's it taking that long? The set looks complete and the studio is fairly modern, do that many tech upgrades need to take place?

The gallery is also being stripped out and refitted. I don't think anyone needs two months of rehearsal.

I don't know... the shambles that is the merged BBC News channel could probably have done with it. You'd think a month would have been plenty for such experienced people... but perhaps not. Though I take your point that it's probably not necessary for a bulletins-only operation like Reporting Scotland.
