Is there a camera in the current announcer's booth? There were a few occasions when the broomcupboard was used as an easy to set up studio when the brown sticky stuff hit the fan elsewhere.

I've always wanted to see again Noel Edmonds appearing in the Broom Cupboard after the bomb alert meant they ended up showing Noel's Christmas Presents in April (I think) instead of the House Party. I remember him being pretty serious at the time and then blaming Mr. Blobby on the following week's show.

Yeah I remember that, they showed Tom and Jerry at first I think and I remember thinking he was a right miserable git at the time. The booth was also used at the time of 'the great storm' in 1987 I think for the news because of the problems with power and alike.

The original broom cupboard (which has beene stablished the old BBC1 continuity booth) had a camera and that was used a couple of times - Noels bomb scare and the 1987 storms.
In the area that replaced it which came on air in 1915 there was a broom-cupboard type studio (lattery with a yellow CBBC backdrop) which was built for that sort of purpose. Don't think it ever got used - that area closed in 2001. AFAIK there is now nothing of that sort availiable, except the other CBBC studio used fro the digital channel

Well it worked perfectly well between 1965 and 1985 - and didn't stop the most important thing - the programmes - commanding high audiences...
You are forgetting (or perhaps are too young to remember) that the reason it got such a high audience was because for most of that time there was only 1 other TV channel on air in that timeslot - ITV.
Anything would have got a high audience in that circumstance
