A highly enjoyable Fighting Talk on BBC Radio 5Live on Saturday along with Jonathan Pearce at the helm, Richard Osman, Michel Roux Jr and Bob Mills. The show can be heard here. On the subject of radio, it’s a medium that has changed somewhat in recent years due to cameras being installed in most studios. Whereas once it was possible to turn up in scruffy attire, now one must plan ahead and have a wardrobe ready for the radio viewer as well as listener. Although it is not entirely clear from the screen grab above, I can assure everybody that my gingham shirt and black v-neck were ironed and brogues polished.
For many years Broadcasting House (BH) was the home of radio – and Television Centre the home of television. Of course things are different now and BH has many TV studios (used for news and weather) and TV Centre, the best designed television studio centre in the world, was destroyed by ill-informed discredited overpaid managers, most of whom have now left the corporation. (*long pause whilst blood pressure subsides*) Anyway, a long time ago there was a small TV studio at Broadcasting House. More than one actually, at different times.
