From what I have gathered on the site, it seems they break in to get the photos.

Right.

I'd suggest hiring a lawyer next time you find yourself in court, rather than relying on statements like that.

More an health & safety issue more than anything else, plus you wouldn't be covered on thier insurance.

However nice to see they are willing to take the risk to bring us some cracking (if sad) photos

Oddly enough the Police let them in Shocked But they had more important things to think about I suppose.

I take it the Tower itself is safguarded, this is the lower buildings is that correct?

I notice the first batch of photos on that last page linked to shows the Sony LMS (Library Management System) control panel (the keyboard thing) and playout stack (the thing that looks like a giant choccy bar vending machine - the VTRs were in the 5 drawers to the left, and the pigeon hole banks to the right accomodated cassettes - either Beta SP or D2/D3). I notice a couple of tapes were still in the thing. Wonder what's on them - I think those and the jingle carts ought to be rescued by ITV Central, if only to hand them on to the NFTVA or the NMFPT in Bradford. I agree ITV Central no longer need them, but does that mean they should just get chucked away forever - especially when we now have the foresight to see these things are STILL (for a short time only) there to be kept.

Just to note, if these guys can get into the building because it is not secure and they don't actually take anything then the most they can be done for is squatting. The Police actually have no power to stop them entering an "open" building.

Crikey that New Faces of '87 promo board.. it's things like that and the corridor pics that freak me out. No offence to the late Marti Caine.

Have to say, looking through that site that there are some really interesting things there indeed.

I wonder if the people at the National Media Museum should be made aware of this. Although I suppose on Health & Safety grounds they wouldn't be able to access the building 'officially'
