The Jonathan Ross Show
(Various Directors, 2012)

The studio for Jonathan Ross' show is by no means innovative, it works as a simple concept that has been used time and time again amongst similar programmes, the world over. It provides the basic presentation, performance and guest area, with space for an audience too. The guest area typically including the most simple of props, simply a desk for the presenter and your average 3-piece leather suite for the guests.

The set is outlined with curves, accentuated by the orange, strip-lighting that illuminates the multi-levels of rostra. The set wall is almost an “S” shape, housing each individual studio area in it's two-directional curve. The wall houses light panels that are illuminated in spots, with what resemble traffic-sign lights, again in orange. In yet another unoriginal part of the set, behind the desk area is a London night-time cityscape! This said, I like the set, it serves it's purpose!
