The current set has been used for four series now, surely it's time for a new one

It will probably end up being the same as X Factor USA, which is the same as ours but with a slightly different stage shape.

We are 'due' one.
Taking out the first series, the set used in the second lasted 4 years with some adjustments, and then we got the one we have now, and we have had it for 4 years, again some adjustments made, maybe we will get a brand new design. *fingers crossed* |

How much more can they change it though? |

I believe the adjustments for the set we've had since 2009 were only made last year. There were extra screens right at the edge of the stage.

Of course, changing it up a bit considering the ratings last year may well make the show feel a bit more fresh. |

Hope so, it was looking tired last year. If the stage got any bigger, then they might aswell not have an audience at all. It looks so small as it is.

The stage they had series 3-5 looked so much bigger than the one we have now, I always preferred that stage

The audience seating looked bigger, and they were much louder as well. I'm pretty sure it was the same studio. I look forward to see if they make any changes.

I think I'd prefer a smaller set thereby allowing a larger audience. There seems to be more atmosphere in shows like when they have larger audiences (Got To Dance being a prime example).
Add me to the ones who preferred the series 3 - 5 set-up; I think (although I could be wrong) that they used the studio at a right angle to the way they use it now, meaning the set was longer and thinner than it is now. I don't know id the audience was larger, but there certainly seemed to be more there; maybe just creative camera work? Even if they just thinned the set a bit they have now they could probably fit extra audience on either side - Over The Rainbow used the same studio for their live shows and they had audience members on a balcony the whole way up both sides of the stage. |

Like it was said years ago, they have outgrown The Fountain Studios. |

It was the same studio, but they used it longways, albeit giving a narrower set, but with the camera angles they used, looked big, and the audience did seem much larger, as it was a lot wider. The series 3-5 was the best set it ever had.

I can't see them scaling down the set by much, but then again I can't see them expanding it either because I couldn't think of a new design although I think its needed considering the ratings slip last year. |

I hated that stage, it looked small to me compared to now.
I also liked the way the judges were seated almost amongst the audience, as opposed to being above the surrounding audience the way they are now, although I imagine it's easier filming them at their current height. |

Maybe they could move to a larger studio, so they could use the same set they use now, but the audience would be larger, allowing for a better atmosphere (like with the earlier series of BGT, series 3-5 of XF, and GTD like you mentioned)?

Syco live shows are all a bit samey I think - Big Screen that opens? Check. Black floor with those light-up strips? Second area (judge or contestant) back a bit from the main stage towards the audience, but elevated above them? Light-bars alongs the wall on either side of the audience? Check. Did I just describe X Factor, BGT, My Dog Can Dance, or Red and Black? (Or, in fact, Eurovision 2010 in Germany, designed by the X Factor's set designer AFAIK!) |

That would be an idea if they could find a studio that they could take over for 3 months; I've always thought the Got To Dance studio (and indeed the whole stage set up) would be perfect for BGT and with a few tweaks would be great for X Factor - count me as one who preferred the series 1-3 set of BGT. I'm not sure where Got To Dance is filmed, but I think the studio that hosted The Voice is going to be hosting Strictly this year; maybe it's the same one?

The live shows for Got to Dance are currently filmed at Shepperton Studios. I think Shepperton has a larger audience capacity than Fountain? I did prefer the series 1-3 set for BGT, but I prefer the series 6-8 set of XF (last year, they changed it a bit by having an extra screen right at the side, so you'd have five screens on the stage). |
