There are loads of elements in studio B that make it a successful design. A curved screen area, a staircase, a mezzanine, the large numerals in the backdrop, the hoops, the platforms. None of the things in that list are present in Scotland. It’s actually a little freaky seeing the set above - it looks just like N6/TC7 15 years ago, even down to the red strip at the base of the backdrop. It’s really lacking something unfortunately and I want to like it. It would be cool if the tower screen could move around (I assume it doesn’t) as you could do some interesting stuff with that. I’ve noted that I don’t like B in close up shots but it’s lovely in the wider ones - but this new set has removed so many of those elements that it’s forgotten what makes it work in the first place.
