Then again not even ITV has identikit sets for every region with London and Granada having different backgrounds.I'm not particularly bothered by the consistency, other than finding it a bit of a waste of space in those regions with larger studios. I think broadly the sets work quite well for the English regions and are obviously technically the best sets they've ever had by a country mile, design-wise is more debateable (Plymouth's current set is obviously a triumph and I do have a soft spot for the better of the 2009-11 faux-Barco sets, which I actually think worked better in certain respects than the national equivalents).
The only real weak link for me has been the nations - I was really expecting something a bit more creative than a basic three-wall LED screen set-up with plonked furniture, for Scotland in particular. Just so many elements from B or Salford that could have been borrowed to make it a bit more interesting, real missed opportunity.
