Is this a hint that the show IS ending recording this year?

"From October until mid-2014, the studio and technical facilities as well as audience-holding, dressing rooms and production offices will be housed in a 3,000sq m unit at The Bottle Yard."

Well... I guess any contract renewals go hand-in-hand with any negotiation of facilities rental - It wouldn't make sense to extend the lease beyond the current contract until they've made a decision about it.

Theoretically, they could probably hold off the decision until early year. Who knows that Channel 4 are thinking...!

(Where does it say that anyway...? )

EDIT: Ah!
