Bbc Olympic Studio

[Tyrion44]

Does anyone know if that ghastly red table in the BBC Olympic studio is meant to represent something? Many thanks.

I've not been watching it but I assume that you mean the somewhat weird table here: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/07/30/00/46070541-9841667-image-a-107_1627602088958.jpg

If so, my best guess is that it's a very stylised representation of the islands that make up Japan, with the northernmost island represented on the left of the studio image:

By the way, they are in Salford not Tokyo.

Thanks Buenchico. I think you could be right.

are you sure, Hopkirk? I could have sworn I saw King Kong on the skyline.

it's a weird set - anyone below could've looked up alex's skirt

^no, bednobs, they couldn't...the set is all smoke and mirrors (green-screen actually) and they are on a solid studio floor in Salford.

The table is not as troubling as Clare Balding. She is everywhere !!!
