Stage One has updated the set for the relaunch of the TV quiz show Countdown, which began a new series with two new presenters on 12th January. Stage One were responsible for providing new presenter and contestant desks and building the large set backing panels. These panels were mounted on to trucks in order to enable a smooth transition between shows as they are moved in and out of the studio.
The company also provided a central floor motif for the set that consisted of a backlit polycarbonate graphic, along with incorporating further backlit graphic elements throughout. They also refurbished several existing items, including the Countdown clock, before installing the set in the YTV studios in Leeds.
