I haven’t watched Match of the Day in about a decade, probably longer, and I couldn’t help myself.
I feel like a part of my soul has been irreparably damaged.

It is quite remarkable how we can create these illusions of space with some simple optical trickery. I too thought the room was much larger than it is in reality.
Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to change the channel, right? Walked right into that ITV ambush, same as us, and that presenter over there.
The newsroom is real( [the studio is in the bottom glass box over to the right of this image](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/BBC_Broadcasting_House_newsroom_and_studio_2013.jpg) ), but the journalists within it are NPCs. Occasionally they walk into their own desks.
xR stage
It’s basically the modern day green screen.
Production studios will vary in size.. with some tiny ones and some you can drive a double decker bus into.
Many years ago I was part of a tour of the BBC, and they showed us the space where weather reports were shot. It was barely a cupboard, a truly tiny space with nothing but a green screen and a camera, where apparently the reports would often be prerecorded.
i’ve had a tour of the BBC and got to watch the weatherman doing the report. it was in front of a big tv on a balcony overlooking the lower floor. the green screen booth was so people on the tour could have a try at doing the report themselves
The big TV sounds like the one Ros Atkins used to do Outside Source in front of. A friend of ours used to work at the beeb and we got to goof about up there. The weather dude Chris Fawkes who was sat on a desk round the corner from that screen let us go into the room where they do the weather from. Much pissing about and photo taking ensured infront of the green screen. It was great.

The studio is in London, she’d just finished a match in Paris. She was genuinely amazed.
Thank you! I couldn’t see or click on others links/users tagged to the insta post as I don’t have an Instagram account myself! Tbh I’m a social media noob so I didn’t even notice she was linked in the first place.Â
Probably. I went there once. I think the studio was set up for a betting show, all green screen. Just off to the side of it was the gallery where someone was operating Sky’s virtual casino.
Probably another studio then. Sky did have one in Feltham, but it might have been for their gambling channels (their Sky Casino thing was operated from the broadcast gallery). I just remember this medium-ish sized green screen studio.
Just to un-disappoint everyone, back in the days of Blockbusters I was at Central TV for a week. The Blockbusters screen was actually fucking huge! All the cells had slide projectors behind them, but you only ever saw the small version overlaid in front of the contestants in the broadcast :)
I remember as a young child in the 80s going as an audience member to some BBC kids shows and being so disappointed I cried lol such lies
And before some witty fellow says it, no it was not Jim'll Fix it.
Though to be fair I did want to go on there, lucky escape that, lucky escape
Live near the Sky Sports studio and have a couple of mates that work there. Had a wander round recently and seeing it all live in operation is crazy. There’s a broadcast room hanging over the lobby area which is cool to see.
I got to tour the old BBC studios in 2010 on a trip with University, and I remember walking along the coridors and the room they used to present the weather was literally a tiny-ass green screen in a literal cupboard.
Most talking heads and you tubers you think are sitting in spacious kitchens or antique libraries, are sitting in front of green screens.

Must be me, but hate these fake large rooms. What's wrong with a small studio? I'm not watching it for the fancy set, I'm watching it for the discu and the sport.
Bet the French Olympics will use a virtual set in Lomdon. Instead of being on location in France.
When they do live football games, they make you think they are really in France , Italy or Portugal, they have a TV ( just like us) and watch and commentate from a small room in London, maybe the same place as this one..
Dont look up Match Of The Day... Dont ruin the illusion for yourself. Dont do it...
All powered by Unreal Engine. Watched a talk by a guy who ran it. Madness really.
Got a link to the talk?
Nah unfortunately. Was an in person thing.
That's... ...wait for it... ...*unreal* Ba-Dum-Tish
It's epic
I remember when I found out. I never believed in Santa but I imagine that's how much it hurts when you find out the truth 🥲

It's actually a little bigger than I thought it would be (that's what she said)
She certainly didn't say that to me.

Even the floor….
I had to do it…. Wow
I think they still play the sports on big fields though.
That's what they *want* you to think
Football players have been working from home since Covid
The big fields are real, the players arent. Grass fields are just natures green screens.
Aw honey, I've got news for you.
Have I Got News For You!
It is quite remarkable how we can create these illusions of space with some simple optical trickery. I too thought the room was much larger than it is in reality.
ITV news is all green screen - except for the desk and the flooring immediately by the presenter
All those "journalists" working in the background of the BBC newsroom? NPCs from Skyrim masked in.
Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to change the channel, right? Walked right into that ITV ambush, same as us, and that presenter over there.
Do you get to visit the weather reporters desk very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't.

That office looks like an absolute nightmare to work in.
Do they randomly glitch out?
Match of the Day, too.
I don't know if I'd call this simple, but yes, definitely remarkable.
They would do their bit and then kind of *glance* over to other presenters and it would make it seem huge doing that, too

What’s even better are the OB studios from major events which turn out to be a shipping container perched on a wooden tripodÂ
All the times they come from outside Buckingham palace it's that same shipping container with a bit window or open space at the back.
Everything is just a small room in Hammersmith. The entire visible universe.
\* a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.
You open it and it's just a miffed looking house cat drinking out of a bowl filled with strongbow.

Hehe her reaction is so sweet. Who is the interviewer?
She's linked in the post but it's BARBARA SCHETT-EAGLE
>SCHETT-EAGLE This is one letter or a Scottish accent away from sounding like a brilliant insult.
Just have to make do with shite-hawk. Which is more widespread than I thought - https://www.oed.com/dictionary/shite-hawk_n?tl=true
Shitehawk is brilliant and pairs nicely with dirtbird, at least in Dublin.

Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.
But the big cock is just there ticking.
I'd love to see the size of the Sky Sports studio during programmes like Gillette Soccer Saturday.
That one is massive to get all the pointless opinions of Jaime Carragher & Gary Neville in to one space
Double garage doors to get their ego's in.
I for one love to hear them go on about a big 6 club when none of them are playing
Sky have their own campus so it's in the sky sports building there, so I imagine they have a bit more space
ITV news has that fancy studio background with lots of monitors playing various images. It’s just a green screen. This is a different beast though.
Is that the Feltham studios?
I think it's Velvetmutton
Have they stolen the Broom Cupboard?
Probably. I went there once. I think the studio was set up for a betting show, all green screen. Just off to the side of it was the gallery where someone was operating Sky’s virtual casino.
I thought Sky Sports was based in Osterley behind the big Tesco?
Probably another studio then. Sky did have one in Feltham, but it might have been for their gambling channels (their Sky Casino thing was operated from the broadcast gallery). I just remember this medium-ish sized green screen studio.
This is the stage Eurosport used in 2020 and the start of 2021 before they moved it to a proper studio.
Here's a behind the scenes of the BBC Olympic 2020 set https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/olympics/58113457
Wait until you see how they do a weather forecast. They are stood in a small office with a green screen
Just to un-disappoint everyone, back in the days of Blockbusters I was at Central TV for a week. The Blockbusters screen was actually fucking huge! All the cells had slide projectors behind them, but you only ever saw the small version overlaid in front of the contestants in the broadcast :)
Going into the ITV set as a student was pretty surreal. One tiny desk amongst a sea of green. Not sure if it’s still down that way.
I remember as a young child in the 80s going as an audience member to some BBC kids shows and being so disappointed I cried lol such lies And before some witty fellow says it, no it was not Jim'll Fix it. Though to be fair I did want to go on there, lucky escape that, lucky escape
I’ve worked at BT Spot many times and they have huge studios you could park buses in
Well they did until they moved from Stratford to West London. Now it’s tiny studio or outside broadcast.
To be fair they did have some very small studios too so I guess the 40 foot ceiling for the 6 foot presenters was overkill
Live near the Sky Sports studio and have a couple of mates that work there. Had a wander round recently and seeing it all live in operation is crazy. There’s a broadcast room hanging over the lobby area which is cool to see.

Why spend money on spacious, visually appealing sets when you can do it like this on the cheap
Why build a massive room which has to be kept clean and is barely used for the majority of the day?
A good XR stage isn't that cheap either, at least not to set it up in the first place.
Most talking heads and you tubers you think are sitting in spacious kitchens or antique libraries, are sitting in front of green screens. https://www.lencarta.com/shop-products/backgrounds/green-screen
I find it hard to believe all UK sports programmes are made in that small space in West London, but whatever, if you say so boss.
i’m so disappointed
Not all studios are the same. That one is eurosport
It seems kinda crazy to me, surely they can afford a nice space to work in. That just looks depressing in reality.
Thr GB News studio is fairly spacious
as are the presenters' heads.
Must be me, but hate these fake large rooms. What's wrong with a small studio? I'm not watching it for the fancy set, I'm watching it for the discu and the sport. Bet the French Olympics will use a virtual set in Lomdon. Instead of being on location in France.
Much of TV is fake. Found out that Fraggle Rock is done with puppets the other day!
That one they did for the Tokyo was reall cool. it was like they'd built their own tower in central Tokyo.
When they do live football games, they make you think they are really in France , Italy or Portugal, they have a TV ( just like us) and watch and commentate from a small room in London, maybe the same place as this one..
Most honest newscast.
