But they used to come from downstairs in the last series, so is this a different location?
Could be. I sometimes wonder how much of the set is real. The brick walls for example sometimes look a bit fake but perhaps they're real. It's difficult to tell.

"I wouldn't put a slate on their roof for a tenner" .. is that some sort of insult?

It's been in both a real warehouse location and a studio, according to Wikipedia. This location is a studio set apparently, so I'm calling the lift a fake!

The location at which the pitches are filmed has varied over the years. It was originally filmed inside a furniture depository in Stoke Newington. The production were forced to move after the first series owing to building work next door. For the second series shooting took place in a disused warehouse in the City. It was then that the first set was created by production designer Laurence Williams, requiring the construction of a section of the window wall and the staircase down to the lower floor. The owner of this warehouse converted it into flats necessitating a further move to Tanner Street for the next few series. Here another more extensive set was created including cutting a hole in the floor and again creating the stairs down to the lower floor. Building work required yet again a move to Pinewood Studios only two weeks before a series was due to be shot and the production designer had to create a complete set on the film stage including a staircase which descended down into the underfloor tank. After several more series were shot at Pinewood, the BBC announced that they are moving filming to their new home in Salford Quays at MediaCityUK. A brand new set was created for the move and was screened in the latter part of 2012 for Series 10.

See that's how you should do it. If numbers aren't your thing bring someone who is into numbers. That's what the other lady should have done.

I wonder if that lift is real? Is this the same location they used for filming in the past? It looks more like a purpose-built studio now than it used to.
I'm 99% sure they enter and leave the lift on the same level. There is no visible "jiggle" by the people when it starts or stops moving, so I'm sure it doesn't move. It's more of an airlock than a lift.

Happy to be proved wrong if anyone has actual facts.

I have watched and (mostly) enjoyed DD for many years and in my opinion last nights show was the worst, most pathetic, boring hour I have ever endured. The pitches were laughable, the products useless and the Dragons crigeworthy. As for the "lift" ...whoever thought of that should be fired.

I can only pray that it gets better...but am not holding my breath.
