[Critique]

It was a pretty awful set from the moment it was installed.

I’m not sure there have ever been many fans of the outgoing set, so I was surprised to see Chris Cook say on Twitter the other day that ‘it’s testament to the great design of the set that it lasted so long…’ Surely it’s more a testament to how squeezed budgets have been over the past decade that they never bothered to replace it! As for why the design is so naff (and matches neither the 2008-2013 look nor the 2013 onwards looks), I guess we’ll never know.
