Question Time

Question Time

For Question Time, the BBC's flagship political discussion programme, we updated the set design to feel genuinely more contemporary, unafraid of bringing colour into a format that had traditionally played it safe. A curved wall of illuminated fin-shaped panels wraps around the panel, sweeping through a gradient from blue to purple to hot pink and red, a subtle nod to the spread of political opinion the show exists to represent, without ever tipping into anything heavy-handed.

A long, curved desk anchors the panel in full view of the audience and cameras alike, its front lit with the show's Q mark and wordmark so the branding reads clearly even in the widest shots. Below it, a circular floor graphic built around a bold Q motif grounds the whole set, while a ring of "Question Time" text underfoot reinforces the identity right down to the studio floor.

It's a design built for clarity and pace, a set that gets out of the way of the debate while still giving the show a strong, unmistakable identity of its own.
