WOW!! I wish the BBC would keep this studio for the news.. what do they normally use TC1 for?


Strictly Come Dancing. Over The Rainbow. Any big show. I'm sure they can work around those though. Maybe it could be double-headed again, with Graham Norton.


Is Over The Rainbow at TV Centre? I heard people talking about it being in a different studio on Richard Bacon's 5 Live show.


Not it's not at TVC - I think they did it elsewhere because they knew before the run that TC1 would be needed for the election.

The BBC always seems to broadcast from Studio 1 on Election Night. Does anybody know if that was the case for Decision 79 and Election 87 AS the studio looked smaller on both occasions.

When BBC News eventually moves to Broadcasting House, I've heard the main studio will be bigger than Studio 1 at TV Centre!! Shocked

Yes - Maria, Joseph and Nancy were all in TC1. Dorothy is the first one to come from Fountain, and is incidentally the first also to be a partial independent production (though BBC Productions own the format I think)
