Title: Wood Norton.

I spent 3 months there in the early 90's. Cramming information about television operations from Monday to Thursday & then the dreaded Friday morning tests on the buttons!

It was hard being away from the family but boy did I learn stuff! :)

I do believe there was a series of Doctor Who shot entirely on location at Wood Norton.

There was a trainer/lecturer there in the 90's by the name of Mike Collier.
What a fantastic tutor he was.
I wonder if he's still around?
