It's all very nice that they've made enough LED set wall to utilise to full size of the studio, rather than having a set based on the Birmingham studio's dimensions regardless of studio size (as most English Regions are allegedly getting, which will mean a fairly small set lost in the middle of a much larger studio in the cases of Newcastle, Southampton, and Bristol at least).
But, as others have noted, it's odd to still only put a single monolith in the front-left corner and a desk area in the back-right corner and sod all else (just like the English Regions) with a truckload of vacant space in the middle.
Unless they're gonna start doing AR explainers à la Wales Today in that middle space, or e.g. permanently relocate The Nine/Seven from the atrium to Studio C and fill that space with a purple sofa, then it's just a huge void.
