That title music sounds like a hellish mock up of Arthur and the Politics Wales theme. With them both just played over the top of each other. I'm not even gonna talk about the titles...I just hope they aren't used for the election results programmes
The BBCs schedule has been updated, with coverage starting on Friday 7 May.
On BBC Two, Huw Edwards will be presenting with Kirsty Wark from 09:00 until 12:00, then further coverage continues on BBC One at 14:30 until 18:00.
An update on the elections will also be broadcast on BBC One at 20:00. More information here:

The Election Guru has posted a story on Instagram and it's looking like Studio B will indeed be used for the up coming Elections unless I am mistaken.
Much like his Twitter, his Insta is public so I've highlighted here what I believe to be B.

Looks like a very similar set-up to the 2019 local and European elections with Reeta's giant tablet in the studio rather than in the Media Cafe as per the general. I'm so glad they decided to start doing locals from B, it is so much better than when they were doing them from Millbank's pokey studio. Hopefully social distancing will mean fewer politicans in the studio and we can get more analysis from Curtice!
I suppose it's difficult to do an election night programme when hardly anybody is counting overnight. I expect it'll be on all day on NC and I expect the network schedules will be flexible depending on what is happening and when the key election results are actually being announced.

Is it with more than two candidates this time?

The Lib Dems and Greens feature this time round with Khan and Bailey.
Coverage BBC
09:00-13:00 BBC Two/BBC News/BBC World News (Possibly because of parliamentary elections in Scotland & Wales)
13:30-14:00 BBC One Regional News
14:30-18:00 BBC One/BBC News/BBC World News (Possibly because of parliamentary elections in Scotland & Wales)
19:00-22:00 BBC News/BBC World News (Possibly because of parliamentary elections in Scotland & Wales)
Strange having a simulcast on BBC World News, anything relevant about Scotland and Wales can easily be fitted in with the normal schedule.
The BBC London debate was exactly the same format.

Do we know which ‘studio’ this is? I assume it’s within the Mailbox as they didn’t state otherwise. I guess they maybe could have used the public space area, as I can’t imagine that’s been open in over a year. Or they might have just cleared some office space upstairs?
The other obvious answer is they recorded at the same place they recorded it outside of Birmingham and the same place they recorded the London one, although there does seem to be a few differences.
