S1 was ATV Elstree,
S2-S5 moved to Nottingham
S6 1990? went of to Brum
S7-S9 back to Notts


Might have a job moving to Nottingham in 1982 considering Lenton Lane wasn't operational until late 1983.


I think you getting confused like some other on here: Blockbusters Started in 1983, it never moved to Lenton lane until Middle of 1984 for the Second serie

S1 Start on 29 August 1983 ( filmed over the summer of 1983. at Elstree.
S2 started on 27 August 1984 ( filmed over the summer of 1984 at Nottingham

I was talking about Bullseye.

Blockbusters must've been the last (and one of the only) Central productions to begin at Elstree. Were there any others? What was the final Central Elstree production?

Apart from a new set because it was filmed at Quay Street, Manchester


I thought it was Kirkstall Road, Leeds?


It was got it mixed up with The Price Is Right which was Quay Street.

Also, with regards to Bullseye does Andrew Wood still have "creator" rights to the show or does Granada (now ITV plc) ?

Also - it was filmed originally at Broad Street, not Gas Street as stated. Gas Street didn't open until the late 90s.


For some reason I actually got those 2 the wrong way round. I did mean Broad Street.
