Former Granada TV site in Quay Street to become new theatre

I think they're being hired out as four-wallers, much like Studio A at BBC Manchester was by 3sixtyMedia. This photo also gives the impression that there are no lamps remaining from the monopoles,...

Neighbours: The 30th Anniversary

New Logo, Theme & Titles

Yes! Playing catch-up, I saw the new opening credits for the first time last night and I too thought the theme tune is very reminiscent of 1999. I really like them!

BBC set to lose Football League Highlights to C5

Split from The Sport Thread

No, I know they have but they moved away from it and I think going back now and hopefully doing it more successfully could be great for the channel.
