Depending on what's left in Cambridge decamping there for a couple weeks might be an option, instead of using a temporary set. From memory that studio was slightly smaller than Norwich's.
This is the thing I've found most confusing since the closure of Cambridge. The Cambridge gallery was better equipped and more capable than the Norwich gallery. It had animated graphics which the Norwich gallery doesn't, and from what I've heard it was HD capable (although the studio cameras weren't).
I know the BBC intend to migrate all the English regions to a setup built around a Ross Graphite, so I can understand why they they don't want to re-engineer Norwich only to have to do it again shortly after. However it does beg the question why they closed Cambridge in favour of Norwich, when in my mind it would have made more sense to close Norwich and use Cambridge.
