BBC Studioworks welcomes back four returning titles across its portfolio in February.
Having facilitated The Voice UK live semi-finals and finals for many years, the eighth series returns to Studioworks this month. The ITV production, based on a Talpa format, will record its knockout days in the 15,700 sq. ft. George Lucas studio in Elstree, and will broadcast both its live semi-final and final in the spring.

The Voice Kids also returns to Studioworks in the same studio for the second consecutive year, and third series overall. Back in the studio from February, the series will air on ITV later this year.
Over at Television Centre, Hot Sauce returns with the fourteenth series of ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show. As a weekly visitor, the primetime Saturday night show will record in front of a live audience in the 10,800 sq. ft. Studio TC1. The show also benefits from Studioworks’ on-site post production facilities ensuring on-the-day VT editing.
