Wonderful to see these clips ( I was the Sound Supervisor for about 100 of these!) Good days!

These self-contained regional production centres were vital for properly representing voices from across the UK, a genuine alternative to the London-dominated media. Productions from Pebble Mill or Oxford Road or the "Pink Palace" in Newcastle genuinely had a different feel to them. It's all a far cry from the "outside London" box ticking of today (Pinewood counts as "regional"? Really??)

It was the glass building and space like the this morning studio that you could see outside the people the weather that made watching pebble Mill

Or as Mike Love said to Brian Wilson, "don't fuck with the formula"

Warren Clarke RIP 😢

The building had to be demolished in 2005 due to concrete cancer

[@StunnedByWrestling]

So they closed down the local BBC studios in Brum then launched the likes of Media City in Manchester? Sick of the BBC tbh
