If only they'd kept Pebble Mill...

Plenty of other regional studios to pop it into though.


Where would they be then? I thought all the regional studios were in use doing regional news at that time of day.

It is slightly different set up in Manchester as both BBC and ITVGranada do actually co-operate very well - they actually share studios (most BBC Manchester programmes are actually filmed at ITVG studios) - although the only programmes to come from BBC Manchester (Oxford Road) are NorthWest Today/Tonight, Heaven and Earth (don't get me started on this show as the original version was best, version 2 was very hit and miss and Gloria Hunniford's is pure rubbish and I'm not religious!!!), and regional output of The Politics Show (now hosted by Mr Granada himself - (An)Tony (H) Wilson!!!!) ** the name is bracketed all over the place due to the fact that he keeps changing his on-screen name **. All other BBC Manchester Programmes do actually come from ITVG.

One Question .. WHEN (not if) BBC does move some of the deparments to the North West will BBC Manchester be renamed to BBC Salford??? (If the use of the city name, in which their main regional studios are based, is prominent in its regions then Salford should be used and not Manchester)

yeah Manchester is the only place I can think of. Bristol's network studio is mothballed, Birmingham no longer have anywhere since moving. Those are the three network production centres in England who you might have expected to be the places that could have done it.

Heaven and Earth now comes from a Granada Studio at 3Sixty, and has done since Gloria took over. The old Oxford Road Studio D was finally judged too small and limiting...

perhaps i could have phrased it better, but i took exception at london stating his opinions, such as "It was falling down anyway" and "rather than repairing building which were poorly built" as fact.

the building may not have been updated or maintained, but that does not mean that the building was poorly built, it means that the bbc took the decision not to maintain it.


Indeed. I certainly agree that Pebble Mill's eventual condition had nothing to with how well/badly it was originally built, and that there was indeed no basis for LONDON saying that it was "poorly built". If it had been "poorly built", then it probably would have been unusable by, say, the end of the 1970s or something. Cool

as to the decline in usage and the reasons behind it - my opinion differs with yours.


Er, I haven't actually expressed an opinion over the decline in usage. I merely observed the basic fact that a decline in usage had occured. Rolling Eyes I did not speculate or suggest as to what I might choose to believe the politics or reasoning behind that decline were! Confused

Thanks. I thought it still came from the Oxford Road Studios - BBC Manchester
