Wash your mouth out - this is the BBC don’t you know, not some American nonsense. Those are PPMs. 1 to 7 is quite enough numbers for balancing audio, no need for any more than that.

Those faders are not ‘reverse’ - they’re the right way round, just everyone else in the industry decided they should go the other way
It was always interesting to - sometimes in the middle of the night - move between studios where the faders the went in opposite directions
Are those analogue VU meters I see?

I wonder if one of the channels on the desk had recently had some ‘attention’

Were it me I certainly wouldn’t have had them there! Or the remote for that matter.
Just creeping in to the left of the shot is the VCS hardware controller- a lot of control is done on remote starts on the desk but that is handy for moving items to different playlist channels, previewing the end of audio clips and so on.
You know, I hadn't even noticed the direction of the faders - I was too busy looking at the location of the keyboard and the phone and wondering how often things get faded by mistake because of them.

'upside down' faders still in use, and PPM meters not covered over with Post-It stickers, it's almost like a shot from the 80s

I remember the first few days after David Hamilton had left Radio 2, and joined Radio 210 in Reading, you could
tell he was having trouble driving the desk !
And also, '.... this is Radio Two............urm..one oh '
