Behind the scenes on TV shows

Just happened to flick onto Gold and they're showing the special episode of the Good Life, where the Queen visits Television Centre (TC6) to watch the filming of an episode. You see the Queen and Duke arrive, go through stage door and then walk into TC6 where the floor manager shows the different sets and tells about the history of the show.

Was this a first, or did other TV shows (drama/comedy) do a similar introduction if it was a special episode.

Here's a clip:

I can't think of any other programme where a Royal visit was included in such a massive way...

... oh hang on:

Seriously though, I'm not sure there are any other entertainment/comedy shows where such a fuss was made. The Queen has of course made several visits to TVC and other BBC buildings over the years including this one to Pebble Mill:

There was also the time HRH Sir Prince Charles presented Inventor of the Year at the BBC.

That Look Around You clip is very clever. The original must be around somewhere, it would be interesting to compare.
