It’s not even just Furio tracks that are limiting, either. The shape of the studio is also very specific and was clearly designed for the original set. The area behind the presenter, as they are sitting the desk, actually curves out into the newsroom floorspace to create a circular background which matches the circular desk. The Furio tracks also follow the circular pattern. As a result, the physical constraints are quite limiting.
Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with the studio being different to Studio B. Just like how the old Studio B wasn’t identical to Studio E, the new Studio E will be distinct but clearly with certain elements which will tie together to have a distinct BBC look. The monolith screens, black desk and catwalk area will all match to the overall look - and it’s good to see that the catwalk does appear to have been upgraded.
New catwalk screens and a monolith is basically what I had hoped for, and I suspect the studio will look great with them!
