Inside The BBC’s Huge Studio 1…1974

This is about as full a tour as you could ask for, as we are privy to every element, from the EMI 2001 cameras, to the control room and even a look at the BBC’s biggest crane in action. Thanks to Petter Olden of NRK TV in Norway for sharing this with us. -Bobby Ellerbee

    Odd-looking video switcher and audio board. I wonder about the manufacturer?

    The Tory attacks on the Beep have been vicious, and it seems a shadow of its old public service self. While moving BBC ops to Manchester’s Media City in Salford seems a commendable way to spread out the production baubles perhaps all too concentrated in London, there are far fewer employees working for the org than before.

    I think the place has been torn down for condos now.
