Morning Live

Today’s guest Craig Revel Horwood commented on how it looks nothing like the one show, with Gethin replying that it hopefully will be tonight.

The programme worked well with a good mix of features and studio contributors.

Where's Marie Kondo when she's needed?

This tweet from Dr Xand shows how tight the space is - particularly with social distancing crew.

What a lovely show @BBCMorningLive is! It’s still on now: this is an illegal live selfie! But I wanted one with @CraigRevHorwood 🥰 https://t.co/nNpkAqdcDV pic.twitter.com/nW9HrskPur

Titles giving Daybreak vibes... the endboard felt very awkward. The set I like overall but the weird backlit part at the back I could do without.

Presentation gives This Time with Alan Partridge vibes... studio looks like a 90s US comedy flat setting..

That rug and those chairs looks like an old ladies' sitting room

Where does the BBC get their titles footage from? Is it stock?

I really don't like the furniture. I like the layout and the different spaces but the chairs and rug are ugly AF

Never understand shows having a view of the building they're in.

From what I can see though, those shots almost make sense.

I love the studio although would make a few changes.

The fake window showing the front of the BBC building, perhaps that should be a pre recorded shot. A few times when Dr Xand was being interviewed in front of it, people would wander into the shot. For a while he had a security guard stood over his shoulder.

The carpet is gross and something more simple and geometric in modern colours would be nicer.

But the main thing I love is that they have taken the aesthetic of Broadcasting House and made it part of their studio with the sandstone walls. It reminds me Rockefeller Plaza.

If anything they should remove those huge One Show letters from the window if this is supposed to be a flexible space used by several different programmes.

Here's some photos from one of the production team showing the studio off:
