They’ve made it work, but it’s overall compromised programme quality as the regional set looks poor on screen. TC7 at TVC, or the theoretical alternative of Studio B at NBH, would look better to the viewer and would undoubtedly have cost less.

“Greater Manchester” is an artificial construct: the programme comes from Salford. Salford is a small regional location, compared to neighbouring Liverpool and Manchester. Don’t read too much into my Rouen example - I simply picked an example to illustrate my “small location” point. It’s a valid point.
