Shame fifth year with the same one, I hoped with all the other changes they'd fork out for a new one

[Samm]

Ugh It is the anniversary this year so I was hoping for a new set

There are new stairs either side of the upper stage which look new? However pointless unless for specific performance?? Don't like the purple graphics on screen hope they change that for life shows!!

[Marsh.]

Lazy production as usual.

[Braden]

I don't see how they could improve or re-vamp the set any better imo. It's nice how it is.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I agree with Braden I mean who tf cares it's fine
I preferred the one they had up until 2008 anyway

The stairs are props for a performance, it hasn't changed at all from last year

You could have said that for the series 3 - 5 set too but they went all out on a new one for S6, I agree it's a nice set but it's refreshing for it to be changed every few series

Also I know not everyone cares about the set and to the casual viewer it's irrelevant but there are some people who are interested in the way TV shows are produced so don't be surprised if on a TV forum you get people talking about stuff like sets, titles and graphics

How have the sets looked since the show started

[Braden]

I am somebody who likes the aesthetics of TV shows. Making it look presentable is an important part of how professional it comes across...I just think it looks really good now.

I do agree that sometimes change is good, so I do see where you're coming from.

I was actually thinking that having the contestants perform on a stage shaped like an X would be a good idea. I liked it on the American version.

k.

tbh I don't watch the stage

Considering that's what all the performances are done on and where the entire show is presented from, you do

But still, if you aren't interested in set design why would you enter a thread about it?

oh ok thanks
I loved the 2008 one
And actually I agree now that there should be a new stage because the current one is dull after looking at these pictures

Fair enough, I do really like the current set I just think after four years it'd be nice to get a new one, especially with all the other changes they've made (most of which I haven't actually liked)

Yeah I saw the Four Chair Challenge set yesterday and was impressed, much better than our Bootcamp set. Series 1 in the UK had an X shaped stage as you can see, I actually quite like it, it just looks a bit bare that's all

no new set

[Jack_]

Just for reference, the Four Chair Challenge set from this year's XF USA:

[Marc]

now thats a lovely stage if I ever saw one

[zakman440]

disappointed.

[BBfanUSA]

I wonder if the US will have a new liveshow set and the XFUK will switch to that set next year? There's been so many changes to the show this year I'm expecting them to have a new set. (It's been a set similar to the UK version. Although the first season didn't include the stairs in the back and the US has had the screens on the sides of the stage since the first season.)

The 4 chair challenge and graphics have been the only noticable changes. (They've color coded the catergories and the graphics no longer include throwing text at the screen. Like last year no announcer but Mario summarizes the show and narrates the action.)

[Jarrod]

I like the stage TXF uses when they have the live final from Wembley or recently Manchester. That's huge and is shaped like an X.

Hm, looks a little bit different in this pic wonder if that circular podium is a prop or permanent

[Maderz]

I'm pretty certain that's permanent. It has been mentioned somewhere on twitter that the set includes a new satellite stage and a new backstage area.

[Braden]

Yeah, I think that's where Caroline speaks to everyone once they've finished?

[Jarrod]

This means that they've reduced the audience a little doesn't it? Didn't they have an audience there?
