The latest series of the show offered 'More glamour, more drama, and more rivalry than ever before' with a live broadcast of the final HD spectacular 90-minute live show from BBC TV Centre's Studio 8 on October 4 2010.
Stage Electrics provided the entire production package, which included staging, lighting and video equipment.
An elaborate bespoke stage set was built to incorporate a 300-strong studio audience, 20m catwalk and two 6m x 4m LED screens.
The TV lighting comprised 150 lights, including the latest LED fixtures specified by Lighting Director Warren Hodge, as well as 36 metres of scenic LED panels.
Jonathan Barden, Studio Resources Manager at BBC Studios and Post Production, commented: "Working with Stage Electrics was a revelation. To have one point of contact for staging, lighting and video wall, made for an unusually smooth operation, expertly run by account manager Russell Payne. Nothing was too much trouble and the joined-up approach to the technical delivery made everyones life easier. As the man responsible for the technical delivery of the studio I look forward to working with them again soon and can't recommend them highly enough."
Director Gary Brooks said: "As a director, working with Stage Electrics is a dream. No matter how tight the schedule or budget, with their involvement you know the project will be finished to the highest standards. Most importantly, all their crew work with professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm in abundance."
