The old Maternity Hospital. As pictured on that page in 1965 which seems to have the BBC transmitter mast in shot (well thats what it looks like.)

There is an old BBC book from around 1980 (I think) and it has a photo of the studio featured with Mike Neville sat down on a comfy chair with no desk in sight.

Can't remember the book but its about the national and regional BBC Television service.

It doesnt look like they are - but you can tell they've been pushed aside from the Beeb.

It's called "Inside BBC Television - A Year Behind the Camera" and it's from 1983. I've a copy in front of me in fact! It's a fascinating book with lots of colour pictures from lots of long-gone bits of the corporation like the OUPC at Milton Keynes, the Television Theatre, and Lime Grove. It also has features on the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest which the BBC hosted at Harrogate, The Raising of the Rose, Children in Need (then a very different programme!). And it nods to the regions too with features on The Beechgrove Garden (Aberdeen), Pobol y Cwm (Cardiff for S4C), Asian Magazine (Birmingham), and BBC North East and Cumbria. There's even a piece about Catering!

That picture of Mike Neville was on TV-Ark but isn't acessible at the moment because of their rebuild.

Anyway, iff you're even just slightly television anroaky, it's well worth getting your hands on a copy if you ever see it in a second hand book shop! And no, mine's not for sale... Wink
