Docklands Studio's purpose-built sound stages suit our filming requirements perfectly. Two large sets in adjoining sound stages allows for a seamless production flow during the judges auditions stage of the competition, alongside the internal control room and production office upstairs as the nerve centre. Use of the large workshop onsite for set construction was also a key factor in the smooth running of the production.
