Billed as coming from the greatest Television Production Centre in the world and the most famous television studio and it's in bl**dy film effect. Grrrr.

Personally, I wonder who the genius was who got 'Madness' to be linked to the closing night show. - the irony of which must surely have made someone a little uncomfortable. [smiley=grin.gif]

The two main Facebook groups associated with TVC are full of photos and videos of TVC in its last few days, although the last programme isn't being recorded there until the 29th March.

I also thought it was rather nice of Yentob to accept that "the odd doorknob or so might be taken as a souvenir" by staff who'd worked there for many years. [Apparently many of the signs for the toilets have already gone!!] Wasn't it nice of Ms Coren to suggest that all the bits were perhaps being taken away so as to rebuild the place somewhere else!![smiley=grin.gif]

And everything disapearing out the door!

Nearly all the corridor clip-on sign boards have had all the actual directions part removed already!
