The One Show were camera rehearsing outside a musical act but even somebody from the One Show team hadn't a clue who it was!


Not surprising at all. I've been involved with football OBs, and in some cases I couldn't have told you what the final score was ! Cool

I remember the BBC Shop at TVC not being exactly large either, which was purely there to pick up custom from those who did the tours.

When I went on a TVC tour 11 years ago you got a free copy of the Radio Times.

I'd forgotten about that, yes we got one in 2002 when we did the tour. Back then I remember thinking reading the London edition with all the variations was quite interesting, how times change...

I much preferred getting a "help yourself" copy of Broadcast magazine near the newsroom, much better than the Radio Times Smile

If only I'd known! Now that I think of it, I remember seeing stands for copies of Ariel, never thought to take one home.

Yeah I took some of those... I actually had a subscription to Ariel whilst it was still printed.

I did! Grabbed one on the fly from BH, and TVC.
And there used to be a collection bin of them before the security desk at the Media Centre opposite 201 Wood Lane.

On a Saturday afternoon trip down to London, get the right accomodating security guard, walk in, pick one up, and head for the door - no fuss!

Not sure if this is best here or on the YouTube thread over on 'Websites'. It's the loop that BH's Master Control Room put out in between feeds:


(someone on DS captured it from some online stream and has blurred out the phone numbers for obvious reasons)

How long has the lower level of TVC Been a cafe area just past main reception? When i did the tour there a few years back i'm sure it was where the newsroom was based.

I've seen the unedited version and not much missing out.

Now is this just a simple video as a barker channel or internal?
