I have found out that BBC news programes such as newsround, newsnight and breakfast come from atudio 7@ TVC.

You can see this on the Newsround Studio tour (Click Here)

But does anyone know what studios are used for news24 and other bbc news programes.  Please help!
Very Happy

We have gone through this many many times before - you could see if it's in one of the old threads.
At the moment the BBC is very security minded with all the war on terror so I'm not going to list them again.

If any terrorists really wanted to find out anything about TVC there is a simple solution- take a TVC Tour! Havent the BBC thought of this yet?

Probably not. The BBC has always had a bizzare attitude to security. For instance last year they banned bicycles from being left outside TV Centre, on the grounds one might conceal a bomb. They were of course quite happy to let taxis and cars park outside for as long as they liked. And we all know what happened.

On the tours you dont get near any of the news studios so theres nothing from what I can remeber that I can think would be of any use to a terorist

AFAIK the tours don't enter the news areas .... it's too sensitive.

Breakfast studio used to house Swap Shop and Saturday Superstore. It's a reasonable size. Not as being as the studios Blue Peter use though

Is there actually a real threat to the BBC - or is this just another attention grabbing scheme invented by those arrogant sods at BBC News?

What a contemptable attitude. Would it be easier for you to get to grips with their concerns if someone had died the last time?

Possibly...

But I would have thought the bomb last March would have knocked the Beebs self-righteous attitude down a notch or two, but obviously not.

No Jamez if bombs and violence could be used to cure a bad attitude, then I suspect you would have had a bomb shoved up your ass a long time ago.

Bravo, however, for your best example of hate yet.
