The above blue-ish studio version of Hardtalk, featuring Zhang Xin, some CEO of China. Just thought it'd be interesting to capture the screen. Have been wanting to post it sometime back, but totally forgotten.

I initially thought it was B, until I scrutinize the background display panels and it didn't look like B. And I thought it's C, but C's table 'leg' panel has some left open isn't it? This looks to be entirely closed. But it sure has resemblance to C, only it does'nt have the color light strip surrounding the circular space where the table is.

Where's the Millbank Studio? In the NBH as well? I have never known the existence of this studio. Hmm

the Millbank studio is in Westminster, I believe it is in a media centre shared with other broadcasters such as Sky News.

Millbank is also known as BBC Westminster and it's near Parliament. It's where The Daily Politics and other political programmes come from.

It's in Millbank, Westminster - close to the UK houses of parliament. It is usually used for domestic politic coverage for this reason.

The Dailly Politics comes from Millbank Monday - Friday when Parliament is in sitting, This Week also comes from there on Thursday nights (again when Parliament is in sitting).

I found this video from the BBC's School Report scheme which shows off Millbank and it's location

The Millbank studio looks like it has the same design look and feel from the ones at NBH. Probably constructed by the same contractor? Its table top looks like an exact clone of Studio C's.

HARDtalk is on Studio C now, and I must say it looks very nice with their dark look...

I have to agree with you entirely not least because the only similarity is the Sharp PCL Monitors and the Circular Shape, but also because the Millbank Set was designed and built long before the first renders for NBH came out. For those of you who are still getting Studio B and C mixed up I think some sort of guide definetely needs to be put out as barely any elements between B and C are quite similar.

STUDIO E is essentially the same as Studio C in terms of Desk and Analysis Area.
