On tonight's (Thurs 9th Sept) 1830 Midlands Today, there was a report about the Princess Royal (Princess Ann(e)) officially opening the BBC's Mailbox premesis.

The package was topped-and-tailed by a live "outside" broadcast, with presenter Patrick Burns, from the BBC Mailbox premesis - the first ever live television broadcast from the site, said Patrick.

He mentioned that it was also Princess Ann(e) that opened Pebble Mill thirty-odd years ago, and that some aspects of BBC Birmingham (e.g. Radio WM) have already been in the Mailbox for "a couple of months".

He said that MT would be moving there "next month" (October).
